Christians across central Nigeria are holding funerals following attacks during and after Holy Week that left at least 157 people dead in rural communities. Eight Christians were killed in a late-night attack on Mbwelle village in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau state, part of Nigeria’s Middle Belt, where predominantly Christian farming communities have faced repeated violence. The victims — identified as Iliya Mangut Dakus, Luck Titus Dakus, Habila Istifanu Dakus, Hassan Istifanus Dakus, Hassan Moses Dakus, Biggie Lucky Dakus, Sunday Gideon Dakus, and Innocent Barnabas Makwin — were members of the same extended family, according to local reports.
