Nigeria: Fulani Terrorists Murder Christians in Plateau State
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Continuing the relentless murder of Christians in Nigeria’s Plateau state, Fulani jihadist herdsmen have murdered four Christians in less than three weeks, Morning Star News (MSN) reports.
On Sunday, November 3, Fulani militants ambushed 30-year-old Christian Fwangshak Lesun of Daika village, Mangu County in Plateau state, and murdered him. “Fwangshak Lesun was returning to Daika from Mangu town at about 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, 3 November, when he was ambushed by armed herdsmen who shot and killed him,” area resident Christopher Luka told MSN.
A week earlier, on October 27, Fulani jihadists murdered a Christian woman and her adult son during a nighttime attack on their home in Hwollaza village off the Jos-Zaria highway, MSN reports. “The herdsmen killed a Christian woman, Mrs. Mary Jonathan, and her son, Mr. Mark Jonathan, while Dickson Timothy, another member of the household, was shot and injured,” area resident John Dauda told MSN. “The victim is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Jos. The two Christians have been buried.”
In a statement, Yusuf Gagdi, a member of Nigeria’s National Assembly and an in-law to the Jonathan family, said: “Myself, alongside my wife, Jemimah, laid to rest her mother, Mrs. Mary Jonathan, and brother, Mark Jonathan, who were tragically taken from us by violent and senseless acts. We honor their memories, pray and seek justice. Rest well, Mama and brother Mark. May God Almighty expose the perpetrators of this heinous crime.”
More Christians are murdered in Nigeria each than in the rest of the world combined: the most recent data provided by the Open Doors international Christian advocacy organization shows that 4,118 Nigerian Christians were killed for their faith from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.
