GODOGODO, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed more than 40 Christians in an attack in this town in northern Nigeria on Saturday and left another eight dead in an assault three weeks earlier, area leaders said.
Godogodo residents said that the second massacre began at 5 p.m. The Rev. Thomas Akut of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) Good News Church in Godogodo said the assailants burned houses and shot Christians dead in the attack over the weekend.
“We fled into the bushes, and some of us escaped to safer areas,” he said. “The attackers were in the hundreds and were well armed. Some of them wore army uniforms, while others wore police uniforms. Some of them exchanged gunfire with the few soldiers stationed at the post office in the town, while others burned down houses of Christians.”
“This casualty figure is only those I saw the following morning, but the number of deaths may be higher as many were killed in the bushes too,” Pastor Akut said.
Solomon Musa, an attorney and president of the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU), said at a press conference on Monday (Oct. 17) that local residents identified at least 40 people who had been killed.
“Godogodo communities once again came under very fierce, terrifying, brutal, savage and barbarous attack by Fulani herdsmen without provocation of any nature from Saturday 15th October, 2016, to Sunday afternoon,” he said. “So far, the locals have been able to identify not less than 40 corpses, aside from the several other corpses burnt beyond recognition.”
Nearly all houses in Godogodo have been burned, and the Muslim Fulani herdsmen also destroyed property worth hundreds of millions of naira, besides grazing their cattle on farmers’ crops and destroying what remained….

Could they have been police officers and members of the Nigerian military? There is no reason why not, but at the same time, the uniforms were likely meant to keep the Christians complacent as the jihadis approached. After all, as Muhammad said, “War is deceit.”
Revenge is the Lord’s. He will repay.
Just moozlums being those peace-loving moozlums. Typical moozlums.
Looks like they won enough souls for the devil to become interested in the situation.
Martyrdoms will make real Christianity spread, like attempting to put out an oil fire with water will spread the fire.
Oh yeah, well bammy will be getting on TV any minute to condemn the murders.

It is what islam does. It’s all in their little book of evil - the koran.
1. Diversity is their strength.
2. There is no reason to believe that the religion of the attackers or the religion of the victims were in any way connected to this unfortunate isolated incident.
3. In any case, this was Trump’s fault.
[Sarcasm? Or the typical leftist echoing Hillary’s talking points?]
When is the slaughter of Christians by Muslims going to stop? Christian Lives Matter!
There is a genuine ongoing threat to Christians. The statistics of Christians murdered are appalling and real, unlike other groups. When is President Obama going to support Christian Lives Matter?
So where’s the Pope on this slaughter?
Islam carrying on. Where is the international outrage?
Nowhere to be found.
RIP.
