Fulani Herdsmen in Nigeria Kill More than 60 Christians in Five Weeks

April 7, 2020 by Staff

(Morning Star News) Nigeria – Weeks after human rights group Christian Solidarity International warned of impending genocide in Nigeria, violence has erupted. Muslim Fulani herdsmen since March 1 have killed more than 60 Christians, including at least 13 Christians last week in Plateau state, sources said.

Following a rash of attacks by herdsmen and Islamic extremist groups in Nigeria the first three months of the year, Fulani herdsmen on Wednesday (April 1) killed seven Christians in Bassa County’s Hukke village, Miango District.

“Those killed in Hukke village are mostly elderly Christians who were unable to escape as members of the community ran into surrounding bushes during the attack,” Patience Moses told Morning Star News.
