Between November 9 and 11, 2025, in Nigeria's Taraba State, Fulani Islamist herdsmen killed more than 20 Christians in a series of attacks on settlements in the Wukari Local Government Area, as reported by Crux.
According to Crux, armed groups of Fulani attacked homes and Christian communities, firing indiscriminately, storming buildings, and shouting "Allahu Akbar." Among the dead were men and women who were killed right in their homes.
Eyewitnesses reported that residents were caught off guard early in the morning. A local farmer said that militants surrounded their home and opened fire, and after the shooting, she found her husband dead. Father George Dogo of the Holy Family Cathedral said bodies were still being removed from the rubble, a signal that the dead toll could mount.
The human rights organization Intersociety states that at least 78 people were killed across Nigeria during these days. In addition, thousands of Christians are still held captive in several forest camps in several states.
The organization emphasizes that the persecution of Christians in Nigeria is systemic and has intensified in recent weeks. According to them, authorities often ignore the attacks or label the events as "intercommunal clashes," attempting to conceal the scale of the violence.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Trump threatened Nigeria with the cessation of aid and possible military intervention due to the mass killings of Christians.
