Fulani herdsmen killed 48 Christians in central Nigeria’s Benue state between Nov. 24 and Dec. 1. On Nov. 24, more than 300 armed Fulani herdsmen attacked predominantly Christian communities, shooting anyone in sight, killing 30 Christians and wounding 37. On Dec. 1, Fulani killed 18 Christians who were on their way to church, including women and children. On Dec. 6, gunmen broke into the homes of a pastor and a young woman and killed them. Christian leaders in Nigeria have said they believe herdsmen attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are inspired by their desire to forcefully take over Christians’ lands and impose Islam as desertification has made it difficult for them to sustain their herds. Christians are calling on the government to do more to protect them, but little is being done.
Please pray…
Pray that the Lord will comfort the families of those who lost loved ones, and heal those who were wounded in the attacks.
Pray that the Lord will appear in dreams and visions to many Fulani terrorists and draw them to Himself.
Pray that the government and security forces will do more to protect Nigeria’s Christian citizens.
