A Christian missionary has cried out after ten persons were killed by suspected terrorists in Plateau State on Sunday, March 29. The attack occurred in Ruwi village, where Fulani terrorists stormed a wake, killing seven women and three men, and injuring two other Christian women.
The victims were attending a wake at the home of the deceased when the terrorists opened fire. Some of the victims were shot, while others were cut with machetes. The attack has left the community in tears and sadness.
The Irigwe Development Association (IDA) has condemned the attack, calling on the Nigerian government to urgently task security personnel to arrest the assailants. The IDA spokesman, Davidson Malison, stated that the terrorists are known to the government and have made threatening statements against the community in the past.
This attack is part of a disturbing trend of violence against Christians in Plateau State. In recent months, there have been several attacks on Christian communities, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people.
The Plateau State Government has expressed concern over the attack, with Governor Caleb Mutfwang describing it as “genocide” against the people. The government has vowed to intensify efforts to apprehend the perpetrators.
The attack has sparked outrage and calls for increased security measures to protect vulnerable communities. Local leaders are urging the government to take concrete steps to address the root causes of the violence.
