Nigeria: Continued Deadly Persecution and Killings of Christians by Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists

Deadly Persecution of Christians by Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists in Nigeria

Open Doors continues to showcase the ongoing Nigerian persecution of Christians the world seems to have overlooked.

The Open Doors has in the past highlighted the aftermath of an attack by “militant Fulani herdsmen” in a predominantly Christian village in Southern Kaduna, Nigeria, and the atrocities they committed. This is just one account out of hundreds and thousands of similar vicious attacks by Fulani herdsmen terrorists in villages, cities, towns and states where Christians live in Nigeria.

Open Doors states, “In northern Nigeria’s Middle Belt area, the latest threat to Christian communities may arguably be even worse than Boko Haram: the Hausa-Fulani Muslim Herdsman. Clashes with militants among the predominantly Muslim group have claimed thousands of Christian lives as they raze entire villages and brutally kill and rape. However, unlike the atrocities and attacks of Boko Haram, Fulani violence has gone relatively unreported in national news headlines.”
