(Worthy News) – Fulani militias launched coordinated attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria’s Plateau State on May 14, killing eight people–mostly children and the elderly–and destroying over 740 acres of farmland.
Gunmen stormed Wereng camp in Riyom County at midnight, opening fire on sleeping families and looting homes. “They just attacked,” one survivor told International Christian Concern. In nearby Kpachudu village, armed Fulani herdsmen let cattle trample crops nearing harvest, devastating Christian farmers’ livelihoods.
“This is not a farmer-herder clash. It is a genocidal campaign,” said Dr. Joshua Riti, a local official. Farmers reported millions of naira in losses and accused the military of siding with the attackers. “We are arrested when a cow dies,” said one farmer, “but no one is held accountable when our homes are burned.”
Local leaders say the violence is part of a strategy to displace Christian communities. “These attacks are not random,” said Hon. John Araye. “Our people have no future without action.”
Officials are urging global prayer, humanitarian aid, and diplomatic pressure to stop the ongoing persecution of Nigeria’s Christians.
