Gunmen Kill 23 in Nigeria

Two separate attacks struck Nigeria, killing twenty-three.

Late Monday night, gunmen attacked a market in Damboa, killing eighteen.

The market is known for selling "forbidden meat" such as pigs and monkeys.

On Tuesday, another attack killed five in Kano.

That attack hit people gambling over a game.

Both attacks are thought to be to the work of Boko Haram, as both struck against things Muslims consider immoral.

Boko Haram desires to setup an Islamist nation, of it's own, using part of Nigeria as it's own land.

The group terrorizes anyone it can and carries out Shariah law, wherever it goes.
