Photos of the attack on St Mary's Catholic Church in Abuja

An incident between a Muslim okada man and some soldiers guarding St. Mary's Catholic Church in Karu, Abuja, degenerated on Sunday, leading to fear of Boko Haram attack in the area.

Some say the okada man died as a result of torture by the soldiers, others say his fellow Muslims were just angry that the soldiers punished a man that was fasting and decided to take law into their hands.

Whatever the case, peace has returned to the area. More photos after the cut...
