Across Nigeria, Christians Are Dying
The Fulani herdsmen’s invasion into peaceful communities of Nigeria has created a disturbing pattern of death and desecration; to this day none of the culprits have been brought to justice. Under the guise of an ancient livestock herding tradition, this group of people wage a war against the Christian population of the entire country. To protect their livestock, cattle farmers have graduated from using sticks, daggers and clubs to using sophisticated, brutal weapons like double-barrel shotguns and AK-47s.
Scholars the world over have been connecting
this rise in violence to the Boko Haram insurgency, which has waged since 2009.
Others wonder if this is a secret agenda aimed at wiping out non-Islamic
populations in order to spread Islam to the conquered territories.
In this harrowing investigation, Dr Darlington
Akaiso asks the questions no one else is willing to ask.
• Why are Christian churches being targeted by
the Fulani herdsmen?
• Could this be an ethnic cleansing, with
Christians as the primary target?
• Can anything be done to stop the brutal murder
of innocent Christians?
• How did guns in the first place make its way
to the grazing farmlands of Nigeria?
