7 Christian men were killed in a coordinated overnight attack on a mining site in Kuru, Plateau state, Nigeria, after suspected Fulani militias opened fire around 1 a.m., military sources said.
Locals argue the killings reflect a wider pattern of violence against Christian communities, as troops arrived hours after the attackers fled. At the burial, activists and clergy called for lawful self-protection amid growing frustration over repeated attacks.
Lord Jesus, we come before You in grief and sorrow for the lives lost in Plateau State. Comfort the families who mourn, strengthen those who are fearful, and bring healing to wounded communities.
God of justice, we ask that evil be stopped, that the attackers be brought to account. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
