The herdsmen attacked Kola village, Akwanga County, at about 10 a.m., killing Amos Vonne Wakayi and wounding the Rev. Thomas Wakayi, a Baptist pastor, along with Victor Yakubu and Sunday Wakayi, said Nathaniel Lauji.

“The injured victims are currently being treated at Our Lady of Apostles (OLA) Hospital, Akwanga, a Catholic health facility,” Lauji told Morning Star News in a text message.

The attack forced Christians to flee from Kola and the villages of Angre, Tabu, Nganche and Bohar, he said.

Other areas of Nasarawa came under attack earlier this year. Herdsmen on May 19 attacked the predominantly Christian community of Takalafiya, Karu County, where a 44 Christians were killed.

On May 13, Fulani militia attacked Tattara Mada and Ngah Barau villages in Kokona County, as people were conducting a mass burial of 11 Christians killed in these communities April 16-18, said area resident Denz Bartholomew Zarme.

“Of this number, seven Christians were from Tattara Mada, and four other Christians were from Ngah Barau,” Zarme said. “The pain of the brutal attacks and the sorrow it caused was evident at the memorial service, with bereaved families and friends of those killed weeping uncontrollably.”

The burial followed a memorial service at the mortuary of the Catholic Church’s health facility in Garaku.

“Cattle herders are forcefully evicting farmers from villages by initiating deadly attacks in some areas in Kokona and part of Karu Local Government Areas (LGAs), leaving hundreds of people homeless and floating in abject poverty,” Zarme said.
