Armed militants stormed homes, set fires, and opened fire on families gathered for the night—just as Christians around the world were remembering the Prince of Peace entering Jerusalem. By morning, more than 50 Christians were dead.
“A mass burial is currently underway. There is outrage in the land at the moment,” resident Joseph Chudu Yonkpa told Reuters.
This small farming village in Plateau state is just one of many across northern and central Nigeria that has experienced violence in recent years linked to deep-rooted tensions—where faith, ethnicity, and land rights collide in devastating ways.
This latest attack comes just days after extremists killed at least 52 people and displaced 2,000 others in another village in Plateau state.
Nigerian Christians—especially in the central and northern regions—have long faced deadly violence driven by a mix of ethnic, economic, and religious tensions. Armed groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and radicalized Fulani militants have devastated Christian communities, forcing millions to flee.
