Also, on July 15, Fulani ambushed the Bokkos area, killing two Christians and leaving “their bodies burnt to ashes,” a resident told the news outlet.
A community leader said Fulani have driven Christians out of Hokk, Kaban, Kadim, Nawula, Dulu, Mbor, Margif, Chirang and Mangor and are now inhabiting those villages.
Other sources informed the news outlet that 14 Christians were slain in a Fulani ambush July 24 in Mangor.
On July 25, a large funeral procession was held in Jebbu Bindi (also in Plateau state) for 27 Christians killed by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists who attacked their village July 15.
According to Christian Daily-Morning Star, a rights activist said the 27 were “brutally and gruesomely murdered.”
