“The attack happened close to a military checkpoint, but no response came from the soldiers. People were left to defend themselves.”
The government clearly wants the jihad against Christians to continue.
TERRIFYING: Christians are being hunted like animals in Nigeria.
An Islamist group invaded a Christian village and started shooting everyone in sight.
They are killing Christians on Eid and offering them as human sacrifices.
The media remains silent.

“85 Christians Killed in Nigeria’s Middle Belt in One Week,” International Christian Concern, June 2, 2025:
6/2/2025 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) — At least 85 Christians have been killed in a wave of coordinated attacks in Benue state, central Nigeria, during the span of a week, as insecurity continues to escalate across the Middle Belt region.
On Sunday, June 1, armed groups attacked communities in Gwer West and Apa counties, killing at least 43 people. The attackers, described by authorities and locals as Fulani ethnic militias, reportedly arrived in a convoy and struck Tse Antswam near Naka town and Edikwu-Ankpali in Apa at about 7 p.m.
Days earlier, similar attacks across several villages in Gwer West led to 42 deaths and the displacement of hundreds of residents. The targeted communities lie within Nigeria’s Middle Belt, a region often marked by competition over land, water, and political representation between predominantly Christian farming populations and largely Muslim nomadic pastoralist groups, including Fulani herders.
In Tse Antswam, located near the Local Government Education Authority (LGEA) primary school and a federal dam project, 17 bodies were recovered following the raid. Displaced residents have since taken refuge at the school, where local vigilantes and police are offering security assistance.
Patrick Modoom, a local community leader, said that 14 of the 15 political wards in Gwer West have been attacked during the past year.
“The attack happened close to a military checkpoint, but no response came from the soldiers,” he said. “People were left to defend themselves.”…
In the same report, Amnesty stated that “672 villages have reportedly been sacked in Benue, Plateau, and Kaduna States alone,” with many of the affected communities being Christian-majority farming settlements. The violence has contributed to large-scale internal displacement and increased tensions over land occupation, resource access, and political control. Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang referred to the attacks as not a clash between Muslim herders and Christian farmers, but as a “genocide.”…

Just wondering who is arming these islamic jihadis.
They never seem to run out of bullets.

James,
In the recent past, the U.S. sent ammo and weapons to nigeria….supposedly the Nigerian government was going to use them to fight terrorism.
The government is not at war with another nation and they aren’t fighting terrorism, so what bullets they received can easily be used to murder Christians.

Thanks for your informative reply, somehistory.

Islam doing what Islam is, the killing, raping and violence it uses to control a population. Islamic leaders want to rule the world, and are working vary hard to achieve that goal.
