Nigeria: Fulani Terrorists Continue Slaughter of Christians with Impunity

Background

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – Despite warnings and outcry from local and international religious rights groups, Fulani Islamic terrorists are continuing to murder Christians in Nigeria with impunity, International Christian Concern (ICC) reports. More Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year than in the rest of the world combined: well over 50,000 believers have been murdered by Islamic terrorists since jihadist terrorism took hold in the country in 2009.

In the latest attack, Fulani extremists raided the Christian town of Daffo in Plateau state on September 3, and murdered six people, ICC reports. On the same day, four other Christians were murdered in Kwatas, 23 miles from Daffo.

As other officials have done periodically, Plateau State Governor Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang condemned the attacks, ICC reports. However, next to nothing has been done to protect Nigerian Christians from the ongoing slaughter.

“Violence by Islamic extremist groups such as Fulani militants, Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State in West African Province) increased during the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari, putting Nigeria at the epicenter of targeted violence against the church,” the Open Doors international Christian advocacy group explains in a current website report.

“More believers are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year, than everywhere else in the world combined,” Open Doors attests. “The attacks are often brutal in nature and can involve destruction of properties, abductions for ransom, sexual violence and death. Believers are stripped of their livelihoods and driven from their homes, leaving a trail of grief and trauma.”

“The government’s failure to protect Christians and punish perpetrators has only strengthened the militants’ influence,” Open Doors notes.
