On March 30, 2026, militants from the Islamist group Boko Haram attacked a village in Borno State in northeastern Nigeria, killing at least 10 Christians, Christian Daily International reports.
According to sources, the armed militants targeted a predominantly Christian community in the area. Homes were destroyed in the attack, and local residents now fear further assaults.
Residents of the region appealed to the international community for help. “Chibok is bleeding, we’re crying. We need help. For how long are we going to suffer this persecution? God please see us through these unholy travails,” one local resident said, stressing that attacks on Christians occur regularly.
"Homes are destroyed. Families are broken. Lives are lost. We cannot stay silent. The world must hear our anguished cries. Immediate intervention is needed to stop the killings and save our lives,” another Christian in Kautikari said.
Other eyewitnesses said their relatives were among those killed and that many families had been left without shelter or means of survival. According to them, terrorist attacks in the area have become systematic.
Boko Haram, which operates in northeastern Nigeria, seeks to impose Sharia law, remaining one of the gravest security threats in the region. Boko Haram insurgents believe other Muslims who do not join their jihad are infidels and thus justify killing them as well as “apostates.” This position is considered part of strict Salafi jihadism but not mainstream Islam.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that British lawmakers had demanded security guarantees for Christians in Nigeria.
