In Nigeria, 27 Christians killed in the attack on their villages
"My family house in the village was attacked by the terrorists and the armed herders. The house was burnt down and no one was left alive. They killed all my family members."
In Kaduna State, Nigeria, Fulani herders and other terrorists killed 27 Christians in two attacks on March 10 and 14.
On March 14, in the village of Langson, 10 Christians were killed. Dozens of others were injured. Sam Achie, president of the region's community development association, denounces "the recurring attacks against innocent Christians" and challenges the government. He claims that "the government knows them and knows where they are".
"I urge the government to match words with deeds in arresting the perpetrators since the government knows them and knows where they are. I call on the Nigerian government to urgently deploy more security officers to the area of the local government of Zangon Kataf in order to stop the recurring attacks on innocent Christians whose lives and property are being destroyed without justifiable reason."
In Ungwan Wakili, 17 Christians died on March 10. Joshua Solomon, a local who lost family members in the attack, testifies to Morning Star News.
"My family house in the village was attacked by the terrorists and the armed herders. The house was burnt down and no one was left alive. They killed all my family members."
Barnabas Tonak, a local resident, lost his mother and a brother-in-law along with his two children in the assault. "In addition to killing our people, these herders have in the past deliberately destroyed our farms and crops," he said.
In December 2022, USCIRF, the US Commission for International Religious Freedom, denounced "particularly serious violations of religious freedom" in Nigeria.
