(Worthy News) – Acting with ongoing impunity as their slaughter of Christians continues, Fulani herdsmen in central Nigeria’s Benue state murdered two Christians on Wednesday, Oct. 9, and two others on Thursday, Oct. 3, Morning Star News (MSN) reports.
More Christians are murdered in Nigeria than in all other countries in the world combined. The majority of murderers are committed by Islamic jihadists from the Muslim Fulani tribe, most of whom are peaceful. The Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists follow the Fulani in committing atrocities against Nigerian Christian communities.
Calabar University student Solomon Kwanta and another Christian were murdered in the Oct. 9 attack in Ayilam, Benue state, MSN reports. “Apart from the two Christians killed during the attack, many other Christians were injured,” area resident Benard Chia told MSN. “Armed Fulani herdsmen attacked Ayilamo community in Logo Local Government Area of Benue state at about midnight on Wednesday.”
In a separate message to MSN, area resident Tsavsar Msughaondo said: “Fulani herdsmen have taken over our ancestral lands; we are therefore calling on the Nigerian government to quickly intervene here in the Ayilamo area of Benue state in order to end these unprovoked attacks on us.”
On Oct. 3, Fulani terrorists stormed Tse Wende village in Kwande County and murdered Christian villagers Terwse Azege and Orseer Kende, MSN reports.
“Attacks by armed Fulani herders have become a common occurrence here,” area resident Fabian Terseer told MSN. “Unfortunately, media organizations have not given these incidents adequate coverage.”
“The sad thing too is that the Nigerian government has not deemed it necessary to take steps towards ending these attacks on our communities,” Terseer added. “For how long are we expected to endure these killing epidemics?”
