Nigeria: Jihadists continue onslaught against Christians in Kaduna state, 30 abductions in one attack
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – On the same day Palestinian jihadists launched their wholesale slaughter and kidnapping of Jewish civilians in Israel, Islamic terrorists in Nigeria continued their years-long genocidal campaign against Nigerian Christians by abducting 30 more Christians in southern Kaduna state on October 7, Morning Star News reports.
Plagued by Islamic terrorist groups who target Christians with impunity, Nigeria ranks six on the US Open Doors World Watch List 2023 of top countries where Christians are persecuted.
During the October 7 attack launched at around 11 a.m. on a Christian communal farm in Chikuri, Chikun County, Kaduna state, armed terrorists rounded up and kidnapped 30 farmers, MSN reports.
“The terrorists kidnapped 30 of our Christian villagers as they were working on a farm which belongs to Mr. Maikudi, an elderly member of our community,” resident Dogara Peter told Morning Star News. “My mother and sister are among those kidnapped by the terrorists. This incident has thrown our community into confusion. The terrorists are yet to contact us more than 24 hours after the abduction of our family members.”
Peter said the October 7 attack was the third time this community has been invaded by terrorists, MSN reports. Peter pleaded for the safe release of the captives. “We make this appeal because we have nowhere to raise money for payment of ransom if these terrorists eventually ask us to do so, as has been the norm in the other two attacks on our community,” Peter said.
