Fulani herdsmen on Thursday (Nov. 6) killed two Christians in Nigeria’s Nasarawa state and two others in Plateau state following the slaughter of 11 Christians in the latter state earlier in the week, sources said.

In Nasarawa state’s predominantly Christian Sarkin Noma village, Keana County, herdsman invaded at about 11 p.m. while residents were sleeping in their homes, killed two Christians and abducted another, said area resident Dooshima Tse.

Musa Adamu, another resident, confirmed the killings and kidnapping. 

“Keana Local Government Area is no longer safe,” Adamau said. “Our peaceful home, where we enjoyed all the comforts, has been turned into a den of armed bandits. Prior to Thursday night’s attack, there was a kidnapping case in Giza community, where a husband and wife were kidnapped from their house, and up till this moment, there’s no news on their whereabouts. We kindly request the help of security operatives to act swiftly and restore peace in our communities as a matter of urgency.”
