Religious crisis is brewing in the Northern part of Nigeria as another christian has been attacked by youths believed to be Muslims.
This is coming barely 5 days after the alleged murder of a woman, Bridget Patience Agbaheme over "blasphemy" against Prophet Muhammad.
The victim Francis Emmanuel Francis,almost lost his right eye on Tuesday following an attack on him by Muslim youths for not observing the Ramadan fast.
He said, "I went to buy wood to do some work. When I came back, I bought food to eat. As I was eating, about six Hausa boys came and asked me whether I was a Muslim or a Christian. I did not answer them. They asked me why I was not fasting. I told them that I am not a Muslim.
"Before I know it, one of them slapped me. As I stood up, the rest came and surrounded me and started attacking me with knives. I didn't know them. Nobody could come to my aid because of the type of dangerous knives they were carrying.
"They used cutlasses, scissors and knives. I became unconscious; I don't even know who brought me to the hospital."
