A Nigerian Bible College has been forced to close because of the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.

The leaders of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria announced the closure of Kulp Bible College and also many churches because of the terrorist attacks in the last few weeks that have left more than 300 Christians dead.

“Boko Haram violence has been getting worse every day, and our members are fleeing the area by the thousands,” EYN President Samuel Dali said. “Recent attacks in Borno and Adamawa states where are our churches are located have seen Boko Haram take over the Army base. As a result, about 350 Christians have been killed.”

The headquarters of the church is also under threat from the terrorist group.

“Every night at the EYN headquarters, our staff and their families go to bed with hearts bound in fear for their lives,” Dali said. “This has forced them to be prepared to flee at any time of the night in an event an attack occurs during the hours of darkness.”

The Bible College is in Kwarhi which is one of the towns claimed in the “caliphate” that Boko Haram says they have set up in northern Nigeria.

A witness who escaped a Boko Haram attack on a Christian village said they are progressing through the area using the same tactic.

“They went from house to house shooting and killing those they came in contact with,” Luka Sabo said. “I have seen bodies of some of those killed, but it is difficult to say how many have died.”
