“Nigerian Police Recover 117 Bodies As Death Toll Hits 125 In Plateau State Violence,” Sahara Reporters, May 20, 2023:
No fewer than 125 dead bodies were recovered and given mass burial in the past three days, Mwaghavul Development Association (MDA), a socio-cultural organisation in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, has said.
The organisation consequently raised the alarm over the spate of killings in the state by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen.
This is as the Plateau State Police Command declared that a total of 117 bodies had been recovered.
Addressing newsmen in Jos, Plateau State, the National President of the Mwaghavul Development Association, Sir, Joseph Gwankat, said apart from the two communities- Fungzai and Kubwat that were initially attacked in the early hours of Tuesday, many other communities and villages also suffered the same fate with many inhabitants killed.
According to the Nation, he said those displaced as a result of the attack were going through a harrowing period as they were lacking food and other amenities. He noted that more than 20,000 people were displaced and are currently taking refuge at the local government secretariat, churches and traditional rulers’ palaces.
“It may interest you to know that since the attack on our communities started on Tuesday, the government has not visited those places attacked by gunmen. Those they have seen were people displaced and roaming around for succour. The local government and the Mwaghavul Development Association cannot handle the situation alone.
“By our estimation, more than 20,000 people have been displaced, though we have yet to take inventory but within three days we had buried 125 people and we are still counting. There are more corpses still floating in ponds that we cannot even access, many are dumped in wells.”
Continuing, he said: “The attack was unprovoked like the one that happened in the early hours of Tuesday. I also want to correct the erroneous impression that it was a clash. It was not a clash but an attack on innocent people. The word unknown gunmen should be discarded because there is no way an attack will take place for one week and the security men will tell us that they are unknown,” he said….

” gunmen suspected to be herdsmen.’ is media code for mozlums carrying out the devil’s desire.

This man is so right! The mozlum nigerian government…pretend government…is supplying and supporting these mozlums so they can eliminate the “innocent people” and pretend that the Christians are just as bloodthirsty and blood guilty as the mozlums who are slaughtering them…men, women and children…while the victims sleep, attend church, are working in their fields, and have no way or means to protect themselves, much less actually carry on an equal warfare, if they wished to do so. And they don’t.
Yes, satan has his crew of bloodthirsty psychopaths and they are carrying out his every desire in nigeria.

Why is the world silent about the non-stop massacre of Christians in Nigeria? The world is yawning and deliberately closing its eyes to the genocide. You don’t hear about the slaughter on mainstream media anymore. Thank you Robert for faithfully continuing to report the incidents. Let all of us at this website continue our compassion for the victims of these attacks. For each death there are the grieving relatives, many of whom are now become widows, widowers, orphans, etc. I cannot imagine the pain of a parent burying his young son or daughter, violently murdered as a child. Some of the injured will be permanently maimed or disabled. All the survivors will be scarred psychologically and will suffer symptoms of PTSD. Beware compassion fatigue afflicting us – let us continue to remember and care about the victims.
John Smith says
True Dandylion, we hear absolutely nothing about the genocide that is taking place in Nigeria. But if the tables were turned and it was Christians slaughtering muslims, then we’d hear about it. It would be in every newspaper, on every TV channel, we wouldn’t hear the end of it.
OLD GUY says
The invasion of islam always results in violence and death. It’s coming to a neighborhood near you thanks to the open border policies of our governments. Nigeria is far away, just hours by plane and you could have new neighbors. Let’s secure our borders and immigration laws to protect our citizens, and allow immigrants who want to become part of OUR society to join us, not those who wish to destroy us.
Yakubu says
The attacked was unprovoked on innocent Christians.
Herdsmen should be declare a terrorist group.
This is juhad going on in Nigeria. Christians should rise up to defend themselves against these terrorists and their false religion.
