OPINION (FW) – Nigeria’s Christian community has been rocked yet again by a vicious assault at the hands of the Islamic Fulani militants, just three days after 16 believers were gunned down after a child’s dedication service. According to International Christian Concern (ICC), the most recent attack occurred on April 17 in Adamawa State and resulted in four deaths. It was around 10:30 p.m. when the militants struck the predominantly Christian Bolon village, firing indiscriminately with automatic weapons. In addition to
the four fatalities, six others were severely injured. Witnesses to the attack say that some of the brave Bolon villagers attempted to repel the attack by any means possible. “An older man went to his backyard… and saw the attackers coming,” a local resident told ICC. “The old man quickly went back and alerted the villagers of imminent danger while the attackers advanced very fast. Some of the villagers were able to flee, while some of the brave men tried to resist and repel the attackers.” READ MORE
