Unknown Gunmen attacked Christian mourners killing about 17 people in Northern region of Nigeria (Friday 6th of January, 2011).
It was so vague of the group who attacked a church in Gombe state killing 6 people including the pastor's wife but the islamist group- Boko Haram was the first thing on people's lips since they gave an ultimatum to christians and southerners living in the north .
Who knows if they're behind this attacks too? Its not obvious also.
According to residents, there was an attack in Good Will Hotel which 5 people were killed (Deceased were all igbos). Now, friends and relations of one of the deceased were gathered in his house to mourn when gunmen struck the house and shot 17 people to death.
Here's a quote from Zubairu Abdulaziz (One of the residents who witness the incident):
"There was an attack last night at Good Will Hotel in which five people were killed, all of them Igbos. Today, some friends and relations of one of those killed in the attack gathered in his house to mourn his death. Unfortunately some yet to be identified gunmen arrived at the house and shot dead 17 mourners"
This is the latest attack since Boko Haram's ultimatum expired and boko haram are suspected to be behind the whole shootings and killings lately after admitting their bombings recently.
