PASTOR MURDERED IN HIS FIELDS: 10 CHRISTIANS MASSACRED WHILE THE WORLD LOOKS AWAY
On Monday, November 3, 2025, Fulani herdsmen killed at least 10 Christians in Anwule Oglewu village of Ohimini County, Benue state, Nigeria. The attack occurred as Christian farmers were working in their fields.
Among the dead was Reverend Simon Nbach of Flaming Fire Ministry, a Pentecostal pastor. Other confirmed victims include Adoya Ejigai and Ejeh Loko. One Christian was abducted by the attackers and remains missing. Several other Christians are still unaccounted for following the assault.
Area resident Casmir Eigege confirmed the death toll and identified the attackers as Fulani herdsmen. "The pastor's corpse has been found, alongside two other corpses of two other Christians, Adoya Ejigai, and Ejeh Loko," Eigege told Christian Daily International Morning Star News. "So far, 10 Christians have been confirmed dead, and one other Christian was abducted by the herdsmen."
These, are not herdsmen, these are islamic terrorists.
The assailants burned down a Catholic Church building and destroyed dozens of homes during the attack. Village resident Ojay Ojonya lost family members in the massacre.
"My uncle and my cousin are victims of the invasion and killing by the armed Fulani herdsmen in Anwule community of Ohimini Local Church Area of Benue State," Ojonya stated. "Lord, please come to our aid."
Area resident Paul Vershima reported that the assault continued until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4. "During the attack, the herdsmen unleashed widespread violence on Christians. The herdsmen set ablaze many houses, including a Catholic Church worship building," Vershima said.
The Fulani are a predominantly Muslim ethnic group numbering in the millions across Nigeria and the Sahel region. While most Fulani do not hold extremist views, some adhere to radical Islamist ideology, according to a 2020 report by the United Kingdom's All Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom or Belief (APPG). "They adopt a comparable strategy to Boko Haram and ISWAP and demonstrate a clear intent to target Christians and potent symbols of Christian identity," the APPG report states.
The world wants you to think these "herdsmen" are just that, simple farmers. But they are not.
What kind of farmer do you know that needs an RPG and automatic machine guns?
Christian leaders in Nigeria believe herdsmen attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria's Middle Belt are driven by a desire to forcefully seize Christian lands and impose Islam, particularly as desertification has made it difficult for herders to sustain their livestock.
According to Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List, Nigeria remains among the most dangerous places on earth for Christians. Of the 4,476 Christians killed for their faith worldwide during the reporting period, 3,100 (69 percent) were killed in Nigeria. Nigeria ranked seventh on the 2025 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.
Open Doors reports that in Nigeria's North Central zone, where Christians are more common than in the North East and North West regions, Islamic extremist Fulani militia regularly attack farming communities, killing hundreds of people, predominantly Christians. Jihadist groups including Boko Haram and Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) are active in northern states where federal government control is minimal. Christians and their communities continue to face raids, sexual violence, and roadblock killings. Abductions for ransom have increased considerably in recent years.
The violence has spread to southern states. A new jihadist terror group called Lakurawa has emerged in the northwest, armed with advanced weaponry and a radical Islamist agenda. Lakurawa is affiliated with the Al Qaeda insurgency Jama'a Nusrat ul Islam wa al Muslimin (JNIM), which originated in Mali.
THE CRUSADER'S OPINION
A pastor murdered in his field.
Ten Christians slaughtered while farming their own land.
A church burned to ashes.
This is genocide, and the world stays silent.
Imagine if a Christian militia massacred 10 Muslims and burned a mosque in Europe.
The outrage would be deafening.
But when it happens to Christians in Nigeria, it barely makes the news.
69 percent of Christians killed worldwide for their faith die in Nigeria.
Let that sink in.
Our brothers and sisters are being hunted, and Western governments do nothing.
The blood of martyrs cries out for justice.
