Key Facts:
- Over 60 Christians were murdered in coordinated Fulani militant attacks across seven villages in Plateau State, Nigeria.
- The attacks displaced over 1,000 people and destroyed 383 homes, according to community leaders.
- Governor Caleb Mutfwang labeled the attacks “genocide,” echoing warnings by international Christian advocates.
- Fulani jihadists, often armed and on motorcycles, looted food stores and terrorized entire Christian communities.
- Violence against Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa is rising, with Nigeria among the deadliest nations for believers.
The Rest of the Story: Nigeria Christians Genocide Unfolds Again
Fulani jihadists attacked seven Christian villages in Bokkos County, Plateau State, as Christians entered Holy Week.
According to locals and faith-based watchdogs, the militants stormed in on motorcycles, murdered at least 60 people, and destroyed hundreds of homes.
Entire communities were displaced overnight, their food stores looted and homes burned to the ground.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang called it genocide, and international groups like International Christian Concern (ICC) agreed.
Jeff King of ICC declared the killings part of a “long-running play called ‘Nigeria’s genocide against its Christian population.’”
Despite two decades of such attacks, the Nigerian government has failed to stop them.
Meanwhile, watchdog groups and African Christian leaders warn that anti-Christian violence is growing unchecked in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Nigeria, with its chronic political instability and porous security, has become a killing field for Christians.
Nigeria: There has been another massacre of Christians – at least 49 were killed and many more injured in Zike, Kwall, Bassa – in Plateau State.
Around midnight on Palm Sunday, sporadic gunshots broke out and homes were set on fire.

Commentary: The Slaughter of Christians the World Refuses to See
There is no outrage, no marches, and no hashtags when Christians are slaughtered.
Over 60 innocent believers—men, women, and children—were murdered as they prepared for the most sacred week of the Christian calendar.
These villagers weren’t militants. They weren’t aggressors. They were worshippers.
This wasn’t some vague “sectarian clash.” It was a planned and intentional massacre.
These Christians were targeted by Fulani Muslim extremists because of their faith.
And yet, not a word from the United Nations, not a peep from the White House, and certainly no emergency sessions from the same media that labels Israel’s defensive war a “genocide.”
This silence speaks volumes.
When Muslims die in conflict zones, it’s genocide. But when Christians are hacked with machetes or shot while fleeing their burning homes?
It’s met with shrugs, if it’s covered at all.
This double standard is as dangerous as it is immoral.
Christians make up the most persecuted religious group in the world today, but their suffering is treated as disposable.
In Nigeria alone, the Fulani have slaughtered thousands, yet continue to roam free.
There’s no international pressure. No sanctions. No CNN specials.
Apparently, the blood of Christians does not stain.
We live in a world where Christianity—once the moral backbone of the West—is mocked, trivialized, and increasingly targeted.
Those who preach peace, community, and forgiveness are now the hunted.
The world doesn’t just tolerate this—it enables it.
The genocide of Christians in Nigeria is real. And the silence surrounding it is complicity.
The Bottom Line: Christians Murdered, World Shrugs
The slaughter of Christians in Nigeria continues with deadly consistency, yet the international community turns a blind eye.
As churches burn and believers die, political leaders stay quiet. If we won’t call this genocide, what will we call it?
The question now is simple: how many more have to die before anyone cares?
