Reportedly the in Tashan Alede, which took place on Saturday at about 11:00 pm, killed 8 persons at a wedding reception, while the attack in Kwajjafa today, Sunday, claimed 4 persons.
It has been gathered by Daily Post that there were earlier reports that the Islamic militants were planning to attack Marama, Garkida, Shaffa, and Kwajjafa, which are all Christian dominated areas.
A Kwajjafa resident, who commented on the attack, said they were not surprised that the sect attacked Christian villages following a video massage released on Friday, by the purported sect leader, Abubakar Shekau, where he attacks on Maiduguri NAF Base, Kur Mohammed Barracks in Bama.
It would be recalled that in that video, the sect leader said they were the warriors of Islam and were waging a religious war on Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan and on Christians.
At the moment there are no official reports from the 7 Division Nigerian Army or the Police on the attack, but indigenes of Kwajjafa and Tashan Alede villages, who lost one relation or other were being prayed for in churches in Maiduguri as they traveled back home to the village to bury the victims.
