Pastor Loses Nine Family Members In Latest Jihadi Murder Spree In Nigeria
Maybe the news crews would care if this was happening in their favorite combat zones?
A month later, and we’re sorry to report the Fulani killings in Nigeria are still very much an ongoing concern. This time, at least twenty-seven villagers were among the dead, nine of them relatives of the pastor.
LeftistTrump has demonstrated a knack for using American leverage to bringing zones of conflict to peaceful resolutions, including bringing peace between Rwanda and The Democratic Republic of Congo. Perhaps he has some fresh suggestions for how to bring the one-sided slaughter of Christian villagers in one region of Nigeria to an end.
The Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM) has confirmed the killing of 27 people, mostly women and children, in an early morning attack on Bindi (Jebu) village, Tahoss community, Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The incident, which they said occurred between 4:00 am and 6:00 am on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, has reignited concerns over the safety of rural communities in the state.
In a statement jointly signed by its President, Solomon Mwantiri, and Secretary General, Bature Adazaram, the BYM described the attack as another round of “cold-blooded terrorism,” allegedly perpetrated by armed Fulani militia suspected to have come from Bangai, Ganawuri, and other settlements in the area.
The attackers, said to be in their hundreds, overran the village in the early hours while residents were still asleep.
BYM expressed outrage over what it described as the continued failure of security agencies to prevent recurring attacks on Berom communities, despite receiving prior intelligence. — Vanguard
A local language report (which our readers may find easier to follow if you hear the words than if you sight-read them) gave some details.
“Around 5pm (WAT) on Monday, our pipo see suspicious movement of some suspected armed Fulani from one settlement wey dem dey call Bangai Fulani for the district. I sharply call di sector commander say na di distress call I receive.
“I call back again, dem tell me say dem don already see di suspected Fulani and say military don already take over di area.”
E add say di attack wey kill 27 pipo including women and children happun on Tuesday.
“Around 3am, hundreds of dem enta di whole area. Di vigilante pipo try resist dem, and military position demselves for two different places.
Di attack lead to the death of 27 pipo, odas don bin wunjur, and also dem burn some houses.”
E still tok say up till now, pipo still dey live for fear, and dat one don make dem no fit even do mass burial for di pipo wey die. — BBC Pidgin
Imagine going to bed in a sleepy farming village, only to be awakened by in the dark of night by several hundred hostile gunmen.
It’s a Christian community that is being targeted by Fulani tribesmen. Again.
One pastor had a big part of his family wiped out in a single day.
We covered this story through the Biden years as well, including Blinken removing Nigeria from the watch list of ‘Countries of Particular Concern’ for religious freedom rights.
A quick look at our search bar results highlights a number of such stories. They are ranked #7 in the global persecution list of Christians. For a country where a significant percentage of the population is already Christian, the consequences for such open violence can be (and often are) dire.
The designation is made by the Secretary of State.
It seems likely that Rubio, if he were to review this situation, would be persuaded to put Nigeria back on the ‘Countries of Particular Concern’ list. He might go as far as specifically naming the group responsible for the aggression as non-state actors viewed in the same light as, say, Boko Haram.
We even have a clue for why Team Biden (like Obmama/Kerry before them) would stiff-arm the legitimate leaders of Nigeria. It goes straight to their rainbow agenda. Blinken removed them from the list one day before angering locals by visitng unknown Fulani chieftains. It was in line with another snub from the Kerry years, as described by the locals.
“We all saw this in the news. It was an outrage. And understandably so,” Vincent Bodam, 51, a businessman in Lagos, told The Epoch Times in an email. “This was the first time for such a visit to an unknown Fulani chief by any U.S. ambassador. We were not even told of the reason for the visit nor the outcome.
“The only time in my recollection this happened was when the then-U.S. secretary of state, John Kerry, snubbed the then-President Goodluck Jonathan and went straight to see the Sultan of Sokoto in 2014.”
…“Ever since Jonathan declined support for same-sex marriage in Nigeria, Obama refused to sell arms to Nigeria to fight Boko Haram. He tacitly supported [President Muhammadu] Buhari and never stepped his foot in Nigeria,” he said. — ClashDaily 2021.
For all of the Obama’s talk about ‘brining back our girls’ from Boko Haram, what they really cared was exporting their secular religion around the world, and punishing anyone who refused to bend the knee to HIS agenda.
How very Imperial Colonialist of him. In a left-wing authoritarian Secular sense, of course.
Journos and the secular left love throwing around the word ‘genocide’. This would be a good place to start using it in its proper usage.
