ABUJA MAY 31, 2016 (CISA) – About 11,500 Christians were killed and over 1.3 million others displaced and 13,000 churches destroyed or abandoned in northern Nigeria, between 2006 and 2014, Bishop Joseph Bagobiri, of the Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan has said. According to the bishop, the most affected Christian communities are in northern Adamawa, Borno, Kano and Yobe states. But in recent months, these areas are affected by the violence of the Fulani herdsmen. “Christian communities in the predominant Christian states in the Middle Belt areas are the most affected by the Muslim Fulani herdsmen forceful invasions and attacks. This is a blatant foreign invasion of the ancestral lands of the Christian and minority communities,” said Bishop Bagobiri.
