On Thursday, suspected members of the Boko Haram Islamic terrorist group opened fire in a church in Nigeria’s restive northeast, killing the pastor and his two children before setting fire to the building and fleeing.

According to Vanguard, the killings occurred in the town of Dorawa, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) away from the site of a brutal school attack in July that saw dozens of students slaughtered.

Eli Lazarus, military spokesman confirmed the attack. He said, "“Unknown gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists attacked a church in Yobe state early on Thursday".

“During the attack, a pastor and his two children were killed,” he said.

The church “and two other houses in the community were burnt by the gunmen before fleeing the scene of the incident", he added.
