Nigeria: Muslims murder 85 people, torch 100 homes, villagers “living in palpable fear”

Mar 16, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end?

“Herdsmen Kill 85 People in Kaduna Communities,” by John Shiklam, This Day, March 13, 2019:

No fewer than 85 people have been killed in attacks on three communities in Kaduna State by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.

The deadly attacks were said to have taken place on Sunday and Monday.

The communities affected are Anguwan Barde and Gamu villages in Kajuru Local Government Area (LGA) and Gerti, Kaninkon Chiefdom in Jama’a LGA.

THISDAY gathered that the attacks in Anguwan Barde took place on Sunday morning when suspected Fulani herdsmen invaded the community and killed 35 people.

But the spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Yakubu Sabo, who confirmed the attack on Anguwan Barde in a statement on Monday said 16 people were killed.

However, Danladi Yarima, a lawyer and former President of the Adara Development Association (ADA), said 35 people were killed in the Sunday’s attack on Anguwan Barde.

He said in the attack on Anguwan Gamu village on Monday, 46 people were killed with about 100 houses set ablaze by rampaging herdsmen.

Yarima said two of the corpses, including the wife of the pastor of an ECWA church in the village were recovered in a river.

“We recovered 35 bodies in Anguwan Barde and 46 in Anguwan Gamu. Some people are still missing because they ran into the bushes for their dear lives when the Fulani herdsmen invaded the communities. We don’t know whether they are still alive or not.

“We recovered two corpses in a river, including the body of the wife of the pastor of the ECWA church in the village,” Yarima said.

According to him, the policemen deployed to Anguwan Gamu had since gone back and the villagers are living in palpable fear.

He said there was massive exodus of women and children from the community to places considered as safe zones….

      (…Nigeria: Muslims murder 85 people, torch 100 homes, villagers “living in palpable fear…)

      And what are the Western mainstream media and governments are saying about this?

        Here is coverage from Western media on this story. From Reuters:

        “Suspected Islamists kill 85 in northeast Nigeria”

        https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nigeria-violence-toll-idUSBREA210K620140302

        As for Western leaders, here is President Trump:

        Zip. The demons are not in a western country so they ignore it as an everyday event, which unfortunately it is. And we Canadians stay silent and continue to import their oil instead of using our own which probably is the reason for the silence at least here in Canada. Ask Trudeau.

    So where is all the outrage similar to that shown for the slaughter in N.Zealand?

      The media does not touch the subject…

      It is only news when Muslims die. In this case, the Muslims were the terrorists. That’s not news.

    Mar 16, 2019 at 1:16 pm

    Why is there such a world wide problem when Muslims are killed in New Zealand but there is no comment about these people being killed by Muslims ?

      We know why. Meanwhile about 50% of the illegal border crossers into Canada are from Nigeria. I wonder who they are,…… the persecuted or the persecutors branching out.

    Didn’t hear about this on the news, only about the attack in NZ

  5. somehistory says

    And if this happened to be newsworthy to ABC, BBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, they couldn’t report it because moslims would claim hatred of islam and moslims…and they just can’t have that.

    There is no place for these people to go to get away from murderous moslims bent on carrying out their mandate to eliminate Christianity and force all people to bow to their beast.

    …………………….

    *Hideous*. And this is not just Boko Haram, but other pious Muslims attacking these Christians.

    On the 15th of May 2019, a Man shot and killed 50 Muslims in a revenge attack for an 11 year old New Zealand girls who was Murdered in an Islamic attack in 2017
    This story made world news

    On the 13th of May 2019 Muslims murdered 85 Christian with guns and machetes, a 100 homes were torched, and surviving villagers “are now living in palpable fear”
    and not a peep from the BBC , let alone the rest of the world.

    Or am I just being Islamophobic ???

    Negros are very taller, I am a tall person with 5′ 4” height they are very tall(taller) than me when I stand with them around 6 feet like WWE Superstars. Tall, muscle, long big pens and black attract ladies.
