Nigeria (International Christian Concern) — Armed Fulani militias carried out coordinated attacks on several Christian villages in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau state on Oct. 14, leaving at least 13 people dead and several others injured. The assailants, reportedly motivated by an extremist ideology, targeted Rawuru, Tatu, and Lawuru villages — areas predominantly inhabited by Christians. The attackers also stole nearly 40 cows and caused widespread destruction of farmlands. Eyewitnesses from the mission center in Rawuru reported that the gunmen invaded their compound around nightfall, opening fire on residents who had gathered for evening prayers.
