Pastors and members of various churches attended a Catholic funeral service on Saturday (Aug. 1) for 27 Christians massacred by suspected Fulani terrorists in Kaduna state, Nigeria, sources said. A funeral for three evangelical Christians slain in the same attack in Naridon village Kauru County shortly before midnight on July 26 was held earlier last week, the source said. “Twenty-seven victims of a deadly attack were laid to rest following a solemn funeral Mass attended by thousands of mourners,” the Rev. Victims of the attack included 10 women and 11 children, including a 3-year-old child, according to Christian support group Open Doors. 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.
