Nigeria Christian Escapes Being Burned Alive

6/26/2025  (VOM)

Christians continue to be murdered by Muslim Fulani militants in the central Nigerian Plateau State and Benue State. After slaughtering at least 50 Christians in one area of Plateau state in April, Fulani herdsmen have recently killed more than 30 more in recent weeks. Some of the attacks continue for days, with the Nigerian security forces and police doing nothing to stop the killers. The militants have also burned down hundreds of homes and farming fields. In Benue State, a prominent attorney is petitioning the president of Nigeria to declare a military emergency after Fulani herdsmen killed 86 people in the past two weeks. The attackers came in large numbers on motorcycles, riding past several military checkpoints to reach the villages they attack, and nothing was done to stop them as before or after the killings. Such killings have been taking place in this region of Nigeria for decades, but the government continues to do nothing to protect its Christian citizens.

Please pray…

• Praise the Lord that a terrorist who persecuted Christians met Jesus and was transformed.

• Pray that Adamu's relationship with his two daughters and wife will be restored and that his family come to know Jesus.

• Pray that Adamu's father also will come to trust in Christ.

• Pray that more spiritual blessings will be poured out on Adamu than what he has lost and that his faith will grow.
