• Fulani herdsmen killed at least 15 more Christians in Plateau state, Nigeria, from September 21 through 25.
• The victims were slain in the same county where a church pastor and others were murdered on September 20.
• Local sources confirm the attacks targeted believers specifically because of their Christian faith.

Nigerian Christians are once again mourning after fresh assaults by Fulani herdsmen claimed the lives of at least fifteen believers in Plateau state. The violence unfolded over five days in the same county where a pastor and fellow worshippers were slain just days earlier.

“They came in the night and began shooting indiscriminately,”

one local source told Christian Daily. The attacks mark a continuation of a pattern of targeted killings that have plagued Christian farming communities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt for years.

Despite repeated appeals for protection, residents say government forces have been slow to respond. Families in the affected villages are now left to bury loved ones while fearing the next assault.

“We need the world to see what is happening to Christians here,”

another witness stated. The renewed bloodshed highlights the urgent need for both security and international attention to the growing persecution of believers in Nigeria.

• The grand jury in Mississippi concluded there was insufficient evidence to file charges in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells.
• District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath affirmed the jury’s decision and called on Ben Crump to present evidence rather than make public accusations.
• McIlrath emphasized that justice in this case must be based on facts and the rule of law, not political pressure.

Mississippi District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath is standing firm after a grand jury determined there was not enough evidence to bring charges in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. The jury reviewed the case involving the young man’s death on Horn Island and concluded no one should face criminal prosecution.

McIlrath directly addressed civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who has publicly questioned the grand jury’s decision. She stated that Crump is “not worthy of our trust” if he continues to challenge the findings without presenting credible evidence.

The district attorney urged Crump to stop what she called political gamesmanship and instead focus on facts. She made clear that the justice system must rely on evidence rather than public pressure or media attention.

“The grand jury has spoken after careful review of the evidence,”

McIlrath said, defending the integrity of the legal process. She warned that undermining a jury’s decision without proof damages trust in the rule of law.

The case has drawn attention because of Crump’s involvement and his calls for further investigation. McIlrath stressed that her office has followed proper procedures and that justice will not be swayed by outside demands.
