Nigeria: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ murder eight people, including children younger than five

This is yet another example what Christians are enduring daily in Nigeria from Fulani jihadists, Boko Haram, and the Islamic State. Jihadists are rampaging relentlessly in Nigeria. Reports about the ongoing genocide in the West African country come so frequently that it’s easy to confuse one for another. On May 7, Jihad Watch reported that “Muslims slaughter 21 Christians, displace thousands,” as Fulani jihadists stormed four farming towns “on the boundaries of Kaduna and Plateau States.” On May 9, Jihad Watch reported: “Muslims murder nine people in jihad raids on villages.” This incident was Boko Haram’s rampage. 

In this latest case, Fulani jihadists “killed at least eight Christians, including children younger than 5, and wounded several others in an attack in Nigeria’s Borno state.”

Each one seems like a duplicate report, but each one is distinct, and represents more murdered Christians, more displaced families, and yet more jihad and Islamic expansion. Yet it is all virtually ignored by the West.

“Islamic militants kill 8 Christians, including children, in Nigeria,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, May 8, 2022:

Radical Islamic militants killed at least eight Christians, including children younger than 5, and wounded several others in an attack in Nigeria’s Borno state, according to reports.

A picture from the scene shows two deceased victims, each appearing to be young children, lying side by side, said the U.S.-based persecution watchdog International Christian Concern about the attack in Borno state’s Kwal area.

ICC added that one of its representatives met with a 2-year-old gunshot wound survivor whose mother was killed in the attack.

According to various reports, the attackers were Islamic Fulani herdsmen or militants from the Islamic State West Africa Province.

The attackers had AK-47 rifles and shouted, “Allah Akbar [Allah is the greatest]” while firing indiscriminately, according to ICC, which said a community member who was given intel about a possible attack had issued a security alert….

In a report released last year, the Anambra-based International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) estimated that about 10 million people had been uprooted in northern Nigeria, where extremist violence was most severe, from July 2009 to July 2021.

The report added that about 2,000 Christian schools were attacked during that time. 

The atrocities included “massacres, killings, mutilations, torture, maiming, abductions, hostage-taking, rape, girl-child defilements, forced marriages, disappearances, extortions, forceful conversions and destruction or burning of homes and sacred worship and learning centers,” Intersociety reported….
