Suspected Fulani herdsmen and other terrorists killed two Christians in north-central Nigeria on Oct. 21 after slaughtering 13 others in two prior attacks, Morning Star News reported.
The assailants attacked Gidan Ityotyev village, Obi County, killing Moses Saaku and Aondofa Saaku and wounding a Christian woman, all members of the Universal Reformed Christian Church, said local community leader Ukpuu Abaa in a text message to Morning Star News.
In Keana County’s predominantly Christian village of Gidan Sule on the night of Oct. 8, the terrorists killed 10 Christians, displacing hundreds of others, Morning Star News reported. Most of the slain Christians were women, children and the elderly who were unable to escape the onslaught, one source said in a text message.
The slaughter followed a similar assault the previous week in Antsa village, in Kwara District of Keana County, where three Christians were killed, he said.
In the 2022 World Watch List of the countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian, Nigeria jumped to seventh place, its highest ranking ever, from No. 9 the previous year.
