When the members of a neighboring community reached the site of the massacre, they found dead bodies: men and women shot with AK-47s, hacked with machetes, lying in pools of blood on the dusty ground in front of their homes. Miraculously, one baby survived, strapped to the back of his mother’s corpse. His haunting cries, the sound of ultimate sadness, are something that, once heard, can never be forgotten.
Not three feet away lay a father holding his baby in their final embrace before death. The baby’s eyes were wide open but lifeless as his blood mixed with his father’s in a grotesque puddle, a testament to the inherent hate and violence of The Religion of Peace.
“Fulani Muslim terrorists are slaughtering Christians in Nigeria. This genocide is far worse than the world knows. Entire communities are being wiped out in silence.” Wrote Didier Neza who posted the video on Instagram.
Although this attack happened five years ago, the video has been circulating a great deal recently, serving as a reminder that things have gotten worse, not better, with more and more Christians, including children, killed and abducted each year.
Miraculously, this is not the only incident in which a baby was the sole survivor. In a separate incident, a church community adopted a one-month-old baby girl found on New Year’s Day 2026 after her village was wiped out by Fulani Islamists.
In a video posted by Truth Nigeria journalist Masara Kim, a woman holds the beautiful little girl as the pastor describes the horror of how she became an orphan. Christians arrived in the village after the attack had ended. “When it was daybreak, they went into the house and they found the mother dead, protecting this child. The father was dead.” But they found the child alive.
“That day, we buried nine people, including her mother and father, in the mass grave.” The pastor went on to draw a Christian lesson from the death and destruction. “We have the Holy Spirit working in the entire community that allowed us to adopt a child, because this child will remain.” He said that the Fulani will always hate the fact that the baby survived. “But we have forgiven the Fulani terrorists that have come to Plateau State to kill us.”
Forgiveness does not mean condoning their actions, nor does it mean that Christians should not fight to protect their families. It means ridding one’s heart of hatred, praying for one’s enemies that they will find Christ, change their hearts, and stop killing. Forgiveness also does not mean being naïve. The pastor said that many communities have been displaced by Fulani attacks and that more attacks are coming.
“They have rushed down to Plateau State. They are right behind us. Some have places even within the town here. The terrorists are all over. They have relocated to the Middle Belt, and we see the tactical approach.” Like most Christians in Nigeria, he supports President Trump’s intervention. “The government doesn’t want America to bring her soldiers to Plateau State.”
He warned his community that the Fulani were gathering and that more attacks were coming. “Some of them have located themselves, looking for the time that they will strike. They will raid…”
The comments posted on the video were very telling of where Christians in Nigeria are now, both mentally and spiritually, after witnessing so many innocents killed and abducted. From my interviews with pastors in the region, it seemed that most believed Christians were meant to be pacifists. But now many are ready to fight.
One man commented, “God will not just come in person and fight this battle for us. As Christians, we have to unite together and fight back, then pray to God for victory. This is my humble submission.”
A woman responded, “David in the Bible fought battles and got victory. As Christians, we have to fight.” Another woman wrote, “Lord, show up for my brothers and sisters in Christ. This nonsense must stop.” The next two comments were blessings for the baby: “I know the plans that You have for her are of so much good, Father God,” and, “May the hand of God rest mightily upon this child until she fulfills her purpose.” With these words, Nigerian Christians show that they have not lost their faith in God despite the horrific circumstances in which they find themselves.
In the last two weeks, there have been numerous large-scale attacks across Nigeria. On May 15, Boko Haram terrorists stormed Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School in Askira/Uba LGA of Borno State, kidnapping 42 students and pupils. The same day, gunmen struck Oriire LGA in Oyo State, invading Baptist Nursery and Primary School (Yawota), Community Grammar School (Esiele), and L.A. Primary School.
The attackers abducted 46 children and teachers, including toddlers. The attack involved the beheading of a teacher and the use of explosives. In a separate incident, seven captives were beheaded after attempting to escape. As of May 27, 88 children from the May 15 abductions remained in captivity.
On May 21, attackers struck the Kurmin Bongo outstation of Sts. Peter and Paul Kurmin Parish in Kagarko LGA, Kaduna State, during heavy rainfall between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. Five people were killed and 10 abducted. Vigilantes rescued two of the captives. The Catholic Archdiocese of Kaduna condemned the attack, describing it as part of a series of assaults on Christian communities in the area.
The latest attack followed earlier raids. On March 2, attackers struck the Kasaru-B outstation, killing one person, wounding another, and abducting eight people, including a local preacher. Although the captives were later released, two were killed while in captivity. On May 1, attackers targeted Sabon Gari, wounding two people and abducting 10 others. One of the captives was later killed.
