Gunmen killed sleeping college students in Nigeria

When will this madness end? when will the government raise up to stop these murderers in Nigeria? Things have gotten out of hand; people are killed everyday In cold blood. We watch! We look away! So sad!!!

Under the cover of darkness, gunmen approached a college dormitory in a rural Nigerian town and opened fire on students who were sleeping.

At least 40 students died, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.

The gunmen fired indiscriminately on the male dorm, said Lazarus Eli, a military spokesman. The attack took place at about 1 a.m. Sunday at the College of Agriculture Gujba.

“So far all evidence points to the Boko Haram,” Eli told CNN by phone.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Part of a pattern?

Since 2009, Boko Haram has sown murder and mayhem in Nigeria’s northeastern region. The Islamic militant group’s name translates from the local Hausa language as “Western education is a sin.”

Boko Haram militants often target schools and churches. In 2011 and 2012, Christmas attacks were blamed on them.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan created a new wing of the military to specifically deal with the insurgency.

My heart bleeds!!!
