Two villages in Kaduna state suffered a violent attack on Sunday morning as Fulani herdsmen targeted Christian families, resulting in loss of life and hardship for the faithful.
Nearby in Plateau state, coordinated strikes left dozens of homes destroyed and hundreds of believers displaced from their communities, highlighting the urgent need for steadfastness and prayer.
“What a black Sunday for Kachia Christians,” said Timothy Kimbe, reflecting deep sorrow over the violence that struck Wakeh and Gadanaji villages.
