WAR AGAINST CHRISTIANS? Muslim Jihadists Show No Mercy, Brutally Slaughter 21 Christians In Cold Blood, See Explosive Details
In a tragic incident on Thursday, unidentified terrorists claimed the lives of eight Christians in Taraba state, Nigeria, following the killing of 13 others the previous week, according to sources. The attackers targeted four predominantly Christian villages in Ussa County around 4 p. m. , leaving a trail of destruction.
Lami John, a survivor who witnessed the onslaught, conveyed, ” While we were in the midst of celebrating Christmas, an event symbolizing the birth of our messiah, Jesus Christ, Muslim terrorists launched attacks on the villages of Kpambo, Fikyu, Kpambo- Yashe, and Kpambo- Kuri. ” John recounted the harrowing experience of fleeing her village as assailants indiscriminately shot people and set homes ablaze, resulting in the loss of lives and the destruction of numerous Christian- owned residences.
Nigeria has surged to the sixth position on the 2023 World Watch List, marking its highest- ever ranking, up from the seventh spot in the previous year. This list highlights the nations where practicing Christianity is exceptionally challenging.
The report underlines the alarming increase in attacks on Christian communities perpetrated by militants from various groups such as Fulani, Boko Haram, and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). These attacks encompass a range of atrocities, including killings, maiming, rape, and abductions for ransom or sexual slavery.
