A group of Muslims attacked Christian farmers near Kano, Nigeria on Sunday, killing more than 100 and injuring dozens more.

The attackers also destroyed all the property of the Christian farmers, burning their homes to the ground.

The admission of the deaths by the government was complicated by the additional news this was the second straight week of Christian farmers being slaughtered by Muslim groups.

Chenshyi village chief Nehu Moses told journalists that gunmen slaughtered the church’s pastor, his wife and then gunned down their children.  After that, they ransacked through the area killing at least 50 in his village.

Local government acting chairman Daniel Anyip told Time that at least three villages were destroyed during the assault.
