120 people killed, 140 homes destroyed by Nigeria Fulani since February

At least 120 people have been killed by alleged Fulani militant attacks since February in the Kaduna state of Nigeria with the latest attacks on Monday resulting in the deaths of over 50 and the destruction of more than 140 homes.

The governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew this week in the troubled Kajuru Local Government Area as thousands have been displaced from their homes by violence caused by militant Fulani herdsmen.

The curfew comes as there have been a string of recent attacks against communities within the predominantly Christian Adara chiefdom of southern Kaduna.

On Monday, 52 people were killed, dozens injured and around 143 homes were destroyed in attacks on the villages of Inkirimi, Dogonnoma and Ungwan Gora in the Maro district of the Kajuru Local Government Area, according to Christian Solidarity Worldwide.

People will always kill each other over trivial things. People with money and resources get others to do it for them. People with true power get governments to do it for them.

What is the prevailing religion of those perpetrating the attacks? Obviously not Christian as they are the ones being killed and injured, so....... No news media coverage with the loss of lives and property greater than that of our most recent news story.

Christians being killed and no big headlines like the Muslims being killed. I wonder why. Keep on believing there is no persecution against Christians.

Sadly 6:33, it doesn't fit the agenda to talk about Christians being killed. People are used to Muslims killing Christians, its considered normal behavior for them, but we are supposed to ignore that and embrace their "diversity".

Get ready for the onslaught of people from Nigeria coming here. As many countries as there are in Africa, why is it they have to come to America? By the way, if they want freedom, they should fight for it like our people did.
