Isa Dauda and John Zaman, from the village of Ungwan Anjo, near Godogodo town in Jema’a County, were killed on the 16th of May during an attack perpetrated by Muslim Fulani herdsmen.

A few days after the attack, two other Christians were kidnapped and four churches have been closed because residents fled the area, a local told Morning Star News.

Two days earlier, leaders of the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) described attacks in the state as genocidal.

“The ongoing attacks on our communities points to the fact that there is a deliberate ethnic cleansing ripping across southern Kaduna which the authorities have turned a blind eye to”, SOKAPU President Jonathan Asake said at a 14th of May press conference in the city of Kaduna.

What it appears to be happening in Nigeria is a systematic series of attacks on communities enduring the oppression of Muslim Fulani herdsmen. In the Adara nation from January 2020, there have been 63 terrorist attack and kidnapping incidents, more than 107 people killed, about 49 persons injured.
