At least 30 Christians were killed in an attack on their village in Kaduna State in Nigeria on Sunday. Truth Nigeria reports the number of killed actually exceeds 60 people, citing multiple attacks.
According to International Christian Concern (ICC), gunmen entered the village of Naridon and began firing on people inside their homes. They also set several houses on fire as people fled into the fields.
A ministry called Building Zion reports the attacks continued for many hours without any response from security or government forces, stretching into the early morning.

“Every month, we bury our people,” Rt. Hon. Stephen Hajara, spokesperson for the Kauru Local Government Legislative Council, told ICC. “Last month, we buried 11 people, including children; now, another mass burial of 30. Enough is enough, please! Please come to our aid!”
Some community members described the attackers as suspected ethnic Fulani militants.
“The same community was attacked last year around this time,” said Derek Christopher, chairman of the civil society group Southern Kaduna Peace and Security Network. He suggests that the government has abandoned any intention of protecting the area from attacks by armed groups. “I don’t know who these people have left to fight for them,” he said.
