More Christians Slaughtered In Nigeria.

Suspected Fulani herdsmen killed 37 people in simultaneous raids on four mainly Christian villages in the Barkin Ladi area of central Plateau state on Tuesday. Many others were injured and homes destroyed in Katu Kapang, Daron, Tul and Rawuru villages.

Christians in central Nigeria say they believe Fulani herdsmen have recently stepped up attacks on Christians at the urging of Islamist extremist groups such as Boko Haram, to further their aim of imposing strict Sharia (Islamic law) across Nigeria.

In Borno state, in the north-east, Boko Haram have reportedly killed at least 34 Christians this month. Church leaders describe the attacks as ‘systematic’.

At least 26 Christians were killed between November 11 and 13 when extremists arrived en masse, shooting villagers and burning homes in Bdagu, Izge, Hartsa and Yazza, which are predominantly Christian. Hundreds were forced to flee their homes. Earlier, on November 3, Boko Haram killed eight in Ngoshe village, Gwoza, and destroyed several church buildings.
