A recent wave of coordinated attacks against besieged Christians in Nigeria has left at least 26 people kidnapped in just eight days.
Accordingto a Monday report from the platform Truth Nigeria, between April 10 and April 17 in the state of Kaduna, villagers reported armed encounters with Islamic militants in multiple communities.
Residents told Truth Nigeria that the attackers stormed seven Christian villages, killing two people and wounding two others during raids.
“The militia is moving ward to ward like they own the land,” Alipiri Ado, head of internally displaced persons in Kajuru County, told the outlet.
“Our people are sleeping in the bush, and nobody is coming to help them,” Ado added.
The most recent attack occurred on April 17 in the village of Doka, when militants arrived on motorbikes in broad daylight.
Seven villagers were abducted in that raid, including five children.
“The terrorists came in their numbers on motorbikes, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar,’” a farmer named Gabriel Nalado told Truth Nigeria. “It is very sad to see that many children were kidnapped.”
Other recent attacks share a similar pattern, per the report.
On April 14, one Christian was shot dead in the community of Apanako Rimau, while another man was severely beaten in a nearby area.
