“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Fulani Herdsmen Kill 12 Christians in Plateau State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, May 1, 2024:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen attacked residents of a village in central Nigeria’s Plateau state as they slept at 2 a.m. on April 19, killing 12 Christians, sources said.
In the farming community of Mangu County’s Tilengpan Pushit, the Fulanis attacked with “deadly weapons” without provocation, said resident Israel Bamshak.
“Most of the victims are women and children who were unable to escape from the invaders,” Bamshak told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.
Resident Monday Mwansat confirmed the attack on the predominantly Christian community, as did John Musa.
“Twelve members of our community have been killed,” Musa said. “We have become targets of attacks from Fulani herdsmen for no just cause.”
Markus Artu, chairman of the Mangu Local Government Council, also said the attacks were carried out by Fulani herdsmen.
Plateau Gov. Caleb Mutfwang expressed sadness that in spite of efforts his government has made to curtail the unprovoked attacks, the assailants have continued to carry out more vicious assaults. Mutfwang appealed to Christians to remain steadfast in the face of unprovoked attacks, saying his government will continue collaborating with security agencies to bring about security.
“I extended my heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the incidents, and pray for the recovery of the injured who are currently being treated in various hospitals,” Mutfwang said.
Nigeria remained the deadliest place in the world to follow Christ, with 4,118 people killed for their faith from Oct. 1, 2022 to Sept. 30, 2023, according to Open Doors’ 2024 World Watch List (WWL) report. More kidnappings of Christians than in any other country also took place in Nigeria, with 3,300.
Nigeria was also the third highest country in number of attacks on churches and other Christian buildings such as hospitals, schools, and cemeteries, with 750, according to the report….
somehistory says
fulani herdsmen (not really **men**) has become another name for mozlums.
They are not truly in the business of ‘herding’ cattle, but spending their days and nights slaughtering Christians….people of the same nation, people of the same color, but opposed to following the demon-led islam.
As the Apostle John wrote at the end of the Revelation,
“He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
May we all soon see this.
