Ethnic Fulani gunmen shouting the jihadist chant ‘Allahu Akbar’ attacked three villages in Nigeria’s Plateau, burning down a church building and killing at least ten Christians, on September 14.
Five members of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) were shot in their homes reported the Revd Manasseh Duwong of the COCIN congregation in Mbar. ‘They were shouting “God is greater” and also saying: “We must wipe out these infidel Christians today’’ ’, Duwong said.
Among those killed was a woman and two of her children. Also killed in Mbar was a driver passing through the town at the time of the attack. The assailants also burned his vehicle. His name was not immediately available, but Duwong and two other area pastors believe he also was a Christian.
