FULANI TERRORISTS SLAUGHTER 25 CHRISTIANS IN 12 DAYS: NIGERIA'S GENOCIDE CONTINUES AS WORLD STAYS SILENT
Another 25 Christians have been gruesomely murdered in the last 12 days as the ongoing genocide in Nigeria continues. Nigeria remains one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian, according to Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List.
In a recent report, Open Doors noted that of the 4,476 Christians killed recently for their faith worldwide, 3,100 or 69 percent took place in Nigeria.
Just last week, a Muslim ethnic group known as the Fulani herdsmen killed two Christians in Nigeria's Nasarawa state and two others in Plateau state following the slaughter of 11 Christians earlier in the week.
Rev. Simon Nbach of Flaming Fire Ministry in Anwule, Benue state, was among 10 Christians killed by Fulani herdsmen on November 3. During the attacks, the extremists also burned down a Catholic Church building and destroyed dozens of homes.
Hundreds mourned the loss of seven Christians, including a 12-year-old boy, who were killed in an attack in Kaduna state. "We have laid to rest seven of our beloved Christians who were killed by terrorists and Fulani herdsmen," area resident Daniel Dodo said.
"The funeral is a ceremony of tears being shed by Christians in the midst of deliberate violence against us because of our Christian faith."
The funeral was held for Yohanna Adamu, 46; Bala Bude Chawai, 57; Yakubu Bala, 50; Abubakar Ya'u, 30; Ishaya Dauda, 56; Monday Nveneh, 46; and Savior Emmanuel, 12.
Radical Islamists have destroyed at least 18,000 churches in Nigeria and have murdered more than 50,000 Christians, according to a 2023 Vatican report based on research from the Nigeria-based International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law. New statistics claim that, in the first seven months of this year, an average of 30 Christians were murdered each day.
According to the United Kingdom's All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Belief, millions of Muslim Fulani live in Nigeria and the Sahel.
While the Fulani comprise hundreds of different clans who do not hold extremist views, some hold to radical Islamist ideology and adopt a comparable strategy to Boko Haram and ISWAP, demonstrating a clear intent to target Christians and potent symbols of Christian identity.
THE CRUSADER'S OPINION
Twenty-five Christians murdered in 12 days. Including Savior Emmanuel, age 12. His name was Savior.
Nigeria is where Christians go to die. 69% of all Christians killed for their faith worldwide die in Nigeria. Thirty murdered every single day. 18,000 churches destroyed. 50,000 dead since 2009.
The Fulani militias burn families alive in their homes. They hunt down pastors and execute them. They abduct women and children for ransom. When ransoms aren't paid, they shoot the hostages.
And the world doesn't care.
The Nigerian government calls it "farmer-herder conflict." As if disagreements over land result in burning down Catholic churches during Mass. As if resource disputes involve slaughtering 12-year-old boys. This is genocide by any definition, but using that word might offend someone.
The Fulani terrorists operate with complete impunity. "When a particular community is under attack by Fulani terrorists, the military always arrives after the terrorists have attacked and left," one Christian leader reported. The military isn't incompetent. They're complicit.
Nigeria's Christian population is being systematically eliminated in a slow-motion ethnic cleansing that makes international headlines for about 48 hours before everyone moves on.
President Trump threatened to stop aid and potentially intervene militarily. Good. Someone needs to.
But where is the rest of the world? Where is the UN? Where are the human rights organizations that scream about every perceived injustice? Where is the media coverage?
Silent. Because the victims are Christians and the perpetrators are Islamic militants. That combination doesn't fit the narrative.
Savior Emmanuel was 12 years old. He died because Fulani terrorists knew he was Christian. That's it. That's the whole story.
His blood cries out from the ground. So does the blood of Yohanna, Bala, Yakubu, Abubakar, Ishaya, Monday, and 50,000 others.
