3 Doctors Killed in Nigeria Post by Addison Norman


3 Doctors Killed in Nigeria
Post by Addison Norman


            Three doctors that were helping at a hospital in the northern Nigerian state of Yobe were attacked and killed on Sunday. Officials are still determining if the physicians were from North Korea or not. They were serving at Potiskum General Hospital for a government arrangement. Some are debating weather this is an act of Boko Haram, a Muslim group that stands for “western education is forbidden,” or just common criminals. The group has attacked many other people in the north.  On Friday, 9 workers giving the polio shot that were working for the government were killed.
             I don’t understand why a group is out to harm people who want to help others. It is scary to think that there are extremist group that will kill and harm so many people. It is important to aware of potential danger around us like extremist groups.
