Nigeria (International Christian Concern) \u2014 <\/strong><\/span>Armed Fulani militias carried out another deadly assault on Christians in Plateau state, Nigeria, late on Sunday, Sept. 14, leaving six Christians dead and several others wounded. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The attack targeted Ndimar, a village in Ik\u2019ngwakap \u2014 the central ward of Mushere District in Bokkos County \u2014 where families were settling in for the night when gunfire erupted.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

According to survivors, the armed men swept into the community under the cover of darkness, firing indiscriminately and setting homes and shops ablaze. Entire families fled into the surrounding bushes, abandoning farms, belongings, and livelihoods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were preparing to rest when we heard gunshots,\u201d one villager recounted. \u201cPeople scattered everywhere. Those who couldn\u2019t run quickly were killed. The attackers went from house to house, burning everything in their path.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

By the time calm returned, six Christians lay dead, and much of the community\u2019s economic base had been destroyed. Small shops, vital for trade and survival, were reduced to ashes. Local leaders confirmed that many families are now displaced, forced to rely on relatives or makeshift shelters after losing everything in the raid.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The violence in Ndimar is part of a broader\u00a0campaign of attacks against predominantly Christian farming communities across Nigeria\u2019s Middle Belt. During the past several months, Bokkos, Bassa, Riyom, and Barkin Ladi local government areas have seen repeated raids linked to Fulani militias. Humanitarian monitors report a steady rise in casualties, destruction of homes, and mass displacement. Thousands of villagers have fled their ancestral lands, leaving behind unharvested fields at the height of the farming season.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Community elders in Mushere warned that the destruction of farms and food stores will deepen hunger in the coming months. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur people cannot continue to live in fear,\u201d one elder said. \u201cEvery time we try to rebuild, they come again. If this continues, survival in this land will not be possible.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Security forces arrived in Ndimar hours after the assault but were unable to prevent the bloodshed. Residents say this has become a recurring pattern, with soldiers and police often deployed only after attackers have withdrawn. Local leaders have called for permanent security posts, improved early-warning systems, and urgent relief for those who have lost their homes and means of livelihood.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

This is the third attack reported in Bokkos LGA in the past four weeks, underscoring the relentless cycle of violence facing Christian communities in Plateau. For survivors in Mushere and across the region, the pressing question remains whether they can ever rebuild their lives in peace on the land of their ancestors.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
