Nigeria: Muslims murder wife, mother, all children and other relatives of one Christian, 13 people in all

Aug 9, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

The world yawns. Wrong victims.

“Muslim Fulani Herdsmen Kill 14 Baptist Christians in Kogi State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, August 4, 2020:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – A Muslim Fulani herdsmen raid on a village in central Nigeria’s Kogi state on Wednesday (July 29) killed 14 Baptist Christians, including 13 members of an extended family, sources said.

Police said the wife, mother, all the children and other relatives of one man – 13 in all – were killed in the 2 a.m. attack on Agbadu-Daruwana. He also lost his younger brother, an aunt and uncle and a sister-in-law, Kogi State Command Commissioner of Police Ede Ayuba said in a statement.

“In that family, it is only one person that survived,” Ayuba said.

Leaders of the All Africa Baptist Fellowship posted on the group’s Facebook page that the victims were members of the Bethel Baptist church in Agbadu-Daruwana, part of the Lokoja Baptist Association of Kogi State Baptist Conference.

“They have since been buried,” the post read. “All the community members, mainly Christians, have all fled. Please pray for God’s intervention against antichrist in the land.”

Area resident Rachael Nuhu told Morning Star News in text messages that the assailants were Fulanis, predominantly Muslim cattle herders who also have attacked surrounding villages.

“They invaded the village armed with guns and riding motorcycles,” Nuhu said. “They were speaking in the Fulani language as they attacked our people. This is not the first time they’re attacking our communities, as other villages around us had been attacked in a similar way by these herdsmen.”

Commissioner Ayuba said that in addition to the 14 persons killed, six were wounded.

Police and government officials are under pressure from the Nigerian government of President Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani, to refrain from mentioning Fulanis in herdsmen attacks, and Kogi Gov. Yahaya Bello condemned the attack by “heartless criminals” in Kogi/Koto Karfe County….

Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2020 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution but second in the number of Christians killed for their faith, behind Pakistan.

    Black Lives Don’t Matter in Nigeria.

    • mortimer says

      Precisely.

      The lives of black African Christians have no propaganda value for globalists or neo-Marxists or Trotskyists. Their deaths contradict the manipulative narrative that claims Islam is benign.

      Islam is a political ideology that uses ethic cleansing and even genocide for the purpose of extending Islamic political dominance.

      I object to this statement. *Moslem* black lives matter in Nigeria. A lot. I think this as I see Moslem black Rep Ilhan Omar D-MN accused of all manner of apparent felonies but about to be let off on all of them, as reported by Spencer over at PJMedia. Ilhan’s life matters too.

    Between 1,000 and 2,000 Nigerian Christians have been murdered or assassinated by Muslim terrorists in the last 25 years. The murders are a pattern of behavior that prove genocidal intent beyond a reasonable doubt.

    • LB says

      Aug 10, 2020 at 5:27 am

      Only 1000 in the past 25 years? I think you got your numbers mixed up. That many Christians were killed by muslims this year alone.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 10, 2020 at 8:34 pm

      There have already been a reported 600 Christians murdered in Nigeria so far in 2020–and the year is just a little over half over:

      “More than 600 Nigerian Christians killed in 2020, new report says”

      https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/more-than-600-nigerian-christians-killed-in-2020-new-report-says-65880

      Actual figures are likely significantly higher.

    It’s widely known that Islam must go through a reformation, like Christianity did hundreds of years ago. So they are, the Moslems are re-forming the religious landscape around them. And, btw, the Christian reformation did not need to stop Christian predation on other religions because there was no such belief. Not so for the Moslems. They *really* need to reform Islam; al-Sisi was right.

    • Michel Copeland says

      The Reformation that Christianity underwent was a reformation of church practices. No changes were made to the Scriptures: indeed, Martin Luther’s driving theme was “back to the scriptures’.

      Islam underwent a “Back to the Scriptures” movement. This decried a number of practices like worshipping the shrines of famous deceased, and insisted on being true to the source texts. It was spearheaded by Wahhab in Saudi Arabia, and is the origin of the strict “Wahhabism” practised there.

      Wahhabism is the result of Islam’s “Reformation”.

        Thanks for that clarification Michael…..I ve long maintained Islam needs a “Reformation” but you’re right….it ain’t gonna happen unless they considerabley revise their “manual” ..and that ain’t gonna happen…

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 9, 2020 at 6:26 pm

      The “reformation” of Islam has been a return to its roots–in other words, to murderous Jihad just like this here.

    Islamic people are so nice they kill other humans in regular intervals. The world is unnecessarily Islamophobic. The wise Left will continue to be kind to Islamic apologists as this (regular Killing) must happen in the West too, as the West is too much as ease

    In the meanwhile Saudi govt has sent 1 billion USD as blood money to Nigeria as its comrade-in-arm terrorists have been doing some “clean” jobs for some years with aplomb. The Saudis want Islam to be called a gentle and kinder religion especially to kafirs.Sarc off/

    Nobody speaks for Christians, Hindus and others and perchance someone did, it should be for the vile Islam, because it is politically correct for the evil generation.

      Jihad Watch speaks for them–but this is not enough.

        Aug 9, 2020 at 11:10 pm

        Graven,

        I meant no politician or “leader”. Franklin Graham of course speaks for the oppressed. And Jihad Watch remains a bright star. The commentators and readers at Jihad Watch remain wise. I get so much insight here.

        Thank you for the reply.

          All too true, Raja.

    If it’s Paki in 11th and Nigeria in 12th, what countries are 1st through 10th?

      APF, here are the top ten according to Open Doors’s 2020 World Watch List of Christian persecution:

      1. North Korea
      2. Afghanistan
      3. Somalia
      4. Libya
      5. Pakistan
      6. Eritrea
      7. Sudan
      8. Yemen
      9. Iran
      10. India

      “The Top 50 Countries Where It’s Hardest to Be a Christian”

      https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2020/january/top-christian-persecution-open-doors-2020-world-watch-list.html

      As you can see, save for #1 these are all Muslim countries, or countries with huge Muslim populations.

      And here is a related list, from the same source:

      Top 10 Countries Where Christians Face the Most Violence:

      1. Pakistan
      2. Nigeria
      3. Egypt
      4. Central African Republic
      5. Burkina Faso
      6. Colombia
      7. Cameroon
      8. India
      9. Mali
      10. Sri Lanka

      And another related list:

      Where the Most Christians Were Martyred:

      1. Nigeria: 1,350
      2. Central African Republic: 924
      3. Sri Lanka: 200
      4. Democratic Republic of Congo: 152
      5. South Sudan: 100
      6. Burkina Faso: 50
      7. Egypt: 23
      8. Pakistan: 20
      9. [name withheld]: 20
      10. Colombia: 16

      Here you can see that for murders of Christians that Nigeria is the worst. (not sure what is going on with #9)

      More on Nigeria:

      “Nigeria also leads the newly tracked categories of forced marriages (accounting for 130 out of 630 worldwide), attacked Christian homes (1,500 out of 3,315), and looted Christian shops (1,000 out of 1,979).”

    Nigeria: Muslims murder wife, mother, all children and other relatives of one Christian, 13 people in all
    …………….

    *Horrifying*. The genocide of Christians continues in Nigeria–and most in the West know nothing about this.

    Nigeria is Africa’s Hear of Darkness, a benighted world dominated by aggressive Muslims attacking peaceful Christians, while te World looks away in embarrassment.

    This is what the blacks in South Africa are doing to what remains of the white farmers, for racist reasons other than Islam. The rest of the world doesn’t give a rat’s ass about that either. Remember, ONLY Black Lives Matter, and then ONLY if they are Muslim and/or Marxist or carrying out some racist collectivist vendetta.

    What a world full of cowards and hypocrites we live in.

    • OLD GUY says

      Aug 10, 2020 at 8:27 pm

      Black lives only matter if a white is involved, if a black or muslim kills thousand of other blacks its not news worthy. Totally insane.

    I can’t understand how some idiots still embraces Islam after all these orgy killings all over the world.Many Africans haven’t yet studied Islam.But I pray that my fellow Africans open their eyes and see that Islam wants to subjugate us and take our ancstranc lands.The day africans will learn this then Muslims and their apologetics will see red expecially in sub Saharan Africa.Fulanis you are our fellow africans but islam is using u for its selfish end which one day you’ll pay dearly.
