Christians are killing muslims, they say, because they believe the Muslims were complicit in the plan by the insurgents to lay waste to their habituation.
Times of London, quoted by ThisDay, reports thus: "Yet many Muslims who were displaced by the fighting are afraid to go home for fear of harassment from the military or reprisals from their Christian neighbours, who bore the brunt of Boko Haram’s savagery.
"Saleh Jibril, who fled to a refugee camp in Yola, said that a friend had found his wife floating in a river with her hands tied behind her back after she tried to hike through the mostly Christian district of Michika, about 20 miles south of their home in Gulak, in March.
Salihi Ateequ, a member of the Adamawa State Muslim Council, said that his sister, Hinidiyatu Tijjani, also went back to Michika soon after it was liberated, to check on their mother who had stayed behind.
“She spent four days in Michika, but as she was coming back she was ambushed,” Mr. Ateequ said.
She was carrying an infant baby on her back. Both were hacked to death with cutlasses.
“The Christians in Michika believe the Muslims invited Boko Haram to come and kill them,” Mr. Ateequ added. “So now it’s vengeance and every Muslim is a target.”
