“Easter Sunday Massacre: Terrorists Attack Two Churches In Kaduna, Kill At Least Seven Worshippers, Abduct Several,” Sahara Reporters, April 5, 2026:
The bloody attack, which occurred during the early hours of the morning, targeted congregants at the First ECWA Church and St. Augustine Catholic Church while they were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Tragedy hit the Ariko community in Kachia Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on Easter Sunday when terrorists carried out coordinated attacks on two Christian worship centers, killing at least seven people and abducting several others.
The bloody attack, which occurred during the early hours of the morning, targeted congregants at the First ECWA Church and St. Augustine Catholic Church while they were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ….
Bawa noted that sources said that at least seven people have been verified dead.
“I am currently on my way to the community to ascertain the exact number of casualties. Some sources said seven persons were killed, while others claimed eight. I will provide an update once details are confirmed,” Bawa said.
Residents lamented that the assailants operated for a prolonged period without any resistance from security agencies. Bawa attributed the delayed response to the chronic lack of telecommunications coverage in the rural district, which prevented locals from calling for help as the slaughter unfolded….
Note that the delayed response of security authorities is blamed on the lack of telecommunications coverage. So what accounts for the delays all the other times? Could the Muslim-dominated government of Nigeria not care if Christians are killed? Will Trump’s interest in this genocide extend beyond his single threat and token airstrike?
Nigeria: Muslims murder 10 Christians in jihad raid on village in Borno state
“Boko Haram Kills 10 Christians in Northeast Nigeria,” Morning Star News, April 2, 2026:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Members of Islamic extremist group Boko Haram on Monday (March 30) killed at least 10 Christians in an attack on a village in Borno state, Nigeria, sources said.
The armed terrorists raided Kautikari, a predominantly Christian village in Chibok County, in the evening and killed more than 10 Christians, said Esther Zamdai in a message to Christian Daily International-Morning Star News….
Boko Haram, officially known as Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād, seeks to impose sharia (Islamic law) throughout Nigeria. The jihadist militant group based in northeastern Nigeria saw a split in 2016 that resulted in the emergency of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).
The name Boko Haram was long translated at “Western education is forbidden,” but the group says it should be translated as “Western civilization is forbidden.” Boko Haram insurgents believe other Muslims who do not join their jihad are infidels and thus justify killing them as well as “apostates.” This position is considered part of strict Salafi jihadism but not mainstream Islam.
More Christians were killed in Nigeria than in any other country from Oct. 1, 2024 to Sept. 30, 2025, according to Open Doors’ 2026 World Watch List. Of the 4,849 Christians killed worldwide for their faith during that period, 3,490 – 72 percent – were Nigerians, an increase from 3,100 the prior year. Nigeria ranked No. 7 on the WWL list of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.
In the country’s North-Central zone, where Christians are more common than they are in the North-East and North-West, Islamic extremist Fulani militia attack farming communities, killing many hundreds, Christians above all, according to the report. Jihadist groups such as Boko Haram and ISWAP, among others, are also active in the country’s northern states, where federal government control is scant and Christians and their communities continue to be the targets of raids, sexual violence, and roadblock killings, according to the report. Abductions for ransom have increased considerably in recent years.
The violence has spread to southern states, and a new jihadist terror group, Lakurawa, has emerged in the northwest, armed with advanced weaponry and a radical Islamist agenda, the WWL noted. Lakurawa is affiliated with the expansionist Al-Qaeda insurgency Jama’a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin, or JNIM, originating in Mali….
