Nigerian Christians Face Deadly Attack, Faith Under Fire
Faith Facts
- At least 10 Christians, including a Pentecostal pastor, were killed by armed herdsmen in Benue state, Nigeria.
- A Catholic Church building and dozens of homes were set ablaze during the assault on Anwule Oglewu village.
- Nigeria remains one of the most dangerous countries for Christians, with thousands killed for their faith each year.
The Christian community in Benue State, Nigeria, suffered a devastating loss as armed herdsmen targeted farmers and believers working in their fields. Among those slain was the Rev. Simon Nbach of Flaming Fire Ministry, as violence engulfed Anwule Oglewu village and forced families into grief.
Community sources recounted the destruction wrought; homes and a Catholic Church were reduced to ashes as families mourned their loved ones. The attacks, marked by brutality and abductions, reflect a pattern of relentless persecution rooted in hostility toward Christian identity and faith.
“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,” said Ojay Ojonya.
The Fulani herdsmen, while diverse in background, have seen radical elements escalate violence against Christians, as confirmed by international watchdogs. Christian leaders warn that these acts are part of a broader campaign to dispossess Christian communities and diminish their heritage.
Nigeria has one of the highest persecution rates globally, with the majority of Christian martyrdoms occurring within its borders. Extremist groups continue to operate in various regions, and a new jihadist faction has risen, further threatening Christian lives and liberty.
“The measure of anti-Christian violence in the country is already at the maximum possible under World Watch List methodology,” a recent report affirmed.
Now, more than ever, believers are called to pray for Nigeria’s faithful and stand united for religious freedom, upholding biblical truth and the sacred right to worship without fear. Let us lift up our brothers and sisters, reminding the world that the light of Christ shines brightest in the darkest hours.

- 23 burial attacks in Chhattisgarh 2025 reveal systematic war on Christian dignity.
In Chhattisgarh, India, tribal extremists prevented 34-year-old Christian Sambai Mandavi’s burial after her Feb. 24 death, claiming it defiles their deities and land.
Her husband Kamlesh faces assault threats and forced exhumation if buried in Amodi village cemetery or family land.
United Christian Forum footage shows exhumations like Benur village remains cremated after 20 years, turning grief into nightmare.
Families discover empty graves or trek miles, pressured to abandon Christ for village rites.
“This incident occurs just days after the Supreme Court issued an interim order halting exhumations,” the Progressive Christian Alliance stated.
“Yet, the persistence of such threats underscores a blatant disregard for judicial directives.”
“The Chhattisgarh government’s calculated silence speaks volumes,” said John Dayal.
“This is not just about dignity in death; it’s about whether tribal Christians belong to their own villages.”
Petitions decry police complicity in desecrations, violating equality and life with dignity under God’s law.
Stand with persecuted brethren through prayer and advocacy, upholding biblical honor for the dead and freedom to worship Christ boldly.
