Nigeria: Muslims shoot or hack to death nine Christians, kidnap seven others

Jun 10, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“May the blood that keeps being spilt cause sleep to depart from all those who carry out these attacks.”

Unlikely. They believe that such attacks please the Allah who told them to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89; cf. 9:5).

“Nine Christians Killed in Gun and Machete Attack in North-central Nigeria,” Morning Star News, June 9, 2020:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Women and children were among nine Christians shot or hacked to death in an attack on Wednesday (June 3) in north-central Nigeria, with seven others kidnapped, sources said.

While more than 30 corpses of slain Christians still lay in nearby villages from prior attacks, Muslim Fulani herdsmen invaded predominantly Christian Tudun Doka village, Kajuru County in Kaduna state, early in the morning, area residents said.

“We woke up around 5 a.m. when we heard sounds of gunshots,” survivor Rifkatu Hassan told Morning Star News by phone. “The herdsmen attacked our homes and shot at us and cut others with machetes.”

She said most of those killed were women and children who were members of Assemblies of God, Baptist, Catholic and Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) churches. Hassan identified eight of them as Richard Yusuf, Kefas Yusuf, Fidelis Wada, Kachia, Genesis Soja, Victoria Gyata, Rose Soja and Rahab Soja.

At least two children were injured in the attack, 3-year-old Elizabeth Samaila and Rita Friday, 8, said area resident Alheri Magaji.

“May the blood that keeps being spilt cause sleep to depart from all those who carry out these attacks,” Magaji told Morning Star News.

Seven other Christians were taken away at gunpoint, area resident Williams Kaura Abba said by text message. He identified the same Christians killed as Hassan did, also unsure of the identity of the ninth victim.

Kajuru County authorities confirmed that nine people were killed in the attack….

    It is an intentional genocide on the part of Muslims in northern Nigeria. Meanwhile, in Nigeria many thousands of Muslims join churches every year and the new churches are built every week in Nigeria.

      In Africa, black lives don’t matter. If we label these muslims murderers as police perhaps then their lives would matter to the western left. The left appear to be ok with using machetes, just dont use a knee.

    And not a mention about it in the main stream media. But if a Christian defends their self and a Muslim dies; or if Israel takes out rocket launching Arabs, it’s on the news cycle for a week, opening dialogue of why Israel is an apartheid state and why there is no justice or a homeland state for the “so-called palestinians”. Satan must be proud of his Muslim terrorist children.

    ……………….

      Nor care it would seem. But in their defence most rely on the MSM for the ‘views’ and we all know that what doesnt fit their narrative doesnt get reported.Ignorance is bliss.The BBC relies on it

    Unfortunately the left media won’t cover these stories which effect thousands of black christians around the world it’s not sensational enough because muslims/islamics are doing the killings. Black lives as well as all lives should matter all over the world not just in the USA. But yet it seems that the media ignores the killing by islamic/radicals. Shame on them for allowing these atrocities to take place around the world and to not give these stories the coverage and justice they should receive.
