Israel can’t be blamed, so the international media will take little, if any, notice.
“Priest Kidnapped and Slain in Kaduna State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, March 6, 2025:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – A Catholic priest was kidnapped on Tuesday night (March 4) in Kaduna state, Nigeria where Fulani herdsmen and other Islamic extremist terrorists have been active, and his corpse was found the next day, sources said.
The Rev. Sylvester Okechukwu, priest of St. Mary Catholic Church in Tachira, Kaura County, was abducted from his home by unknown assailants shortly after 9 p.m. and later killed, according to the Kafanchan Diocese. He was 45.
“Kidnappers picked him up from the rectory yesterday, March 4th, past 9 p.m., and his lifeless body was found today, Ash Wednesday early morning,” area priest Williams Abba told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News in a text message. “What a day and manner to die! He had his ashes ready and was going to mark the foreheads of parishioners to remind them that they are dust and to dust they will return. This morning, his life was cut short and he has become dust before us.”
The violent nature of his death was akin to that suffered by Christ, he said….
Nigeria remained among the most dangerous places on earth for Christians, according to Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List of the countries where it is most diffiucult to be a Christian. Of the 4,476 Christians killed for their faith worldwide during the reporting period, 3,100 (69 percent) were in Nigeria, according to the WWL.
“The measure of anti-Christian violence in the country is already at the maximum possible under World Watch List methodology,” the report stated.
In the country’s North-Central zone, where Christians are more common than they are in the North-East and North-West, Islamic extremist Fulani militia attack farming communities, killing many hundreds, Christians above all, according to the report. Jihadist groups such as Boko Haram and the splinter group Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), among others, are also active in the country’s northern states, where federal government control is scant and Christians and their communities continue to be the targets of raids, sexual violence, and roadblock killings, according to the report. Abductions for ransom have increased considerably in recent years.
The violence has spread to southern states, and a new jihadist terror group, Lakurawa, has emerged in the northwest, armed with advanced weaponry and a radical Islamist agenda, the WWL noted. Lakurawa is affiliated with the expansionist Al-Qaeda insurgency Jama’a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin, or JNIM, originating in Mali….

And what does the pope say from his cushy hospital bed? Whatever it may be, it will have nothing to do with this man’s murder by the best buds of the pope.
mozlums are set on filling up the totals of their victims until all Christians in Nigeria are dead.
The pope’s *condition* is reported on daily; while the Catholics actually living their faith are murdered daily, and only a few people care enough to report on that.

Why would an African in Nigeria want to be a Muslim. Mohammed relates that Allah created them to go to Hell??

Abud Darda’ reported God’s messenger as saying, “God created Adam when He created him and struck his right shoulder and brought forth his offspring white like small ants. And he struck his left shoulder and brought forth his offspring black as though they were charcoal. Then He said to the party on his right side, ‘To paradise, and I do not care’ and He said to the party in his left shoulder, ‘To hell, and I do not care’.”
Ahmad transmitted it.

Allah is a hell of a god or maybe a” god” from hell condemning people at birth because of skin color and stating from the above statement he does not care about people he “claims” he created .Yes it is strange how many people who are black convert to Islam in the west Islam draws in losers of all colors world wide .It give excuses to use violence both regular violence to committed thief and senseless serial killer kind of violence. People born into this most violent inducing cult their leaders keep them from being exposed to other religions ,cultures ideas .It is the cult mentality of Islam against the world .Islam is always the victim even if its members are the ones stabbing and shooting unarmed men women and children that speak the same language as them ,have the same racial background live a hand to mouth life ,as only poor farmers .The Pope and other Christian leaders are silent about this as they are silent about the grooming gangs in poor blue collar towns in England .They are silent about the many Moslem preachers calling for death of non-Moslems every Friday night in Europe ,Africa ,Asia and the followers in those Mosques doing the bidding of their religious leaders.

Nigeria government is actually on the side of the fulani terrorists. They facilitate their movements, arm them with weapons, and also protect them whenever the locals try to rise up. There’s even a case of one Mr. Sunday Jackson, who was sentenced to death by Nigeria supreme court of Injustice for defending himself against a fulani terrorist who attacked him with a knife in his farm. He overpowered the fulani terrorist and then killed him with the same knife. The Nigeria supreme court sentenced Mr. Sunday Jackson to death for defending himself against the fulani terrorist who stabbed him in his farm saying that he should have ran away.

Why can’t the non-muslim/islamic people admit that ISLAM wants to convert them or kill them. It’s quite simple and has been going on for hundreds of years. Wake up before you are raped, enslaved or murdered by these islamic thugs. Islam talks peace and love and will slit your throat at the same time.
