Islamic terrorists killed more than 200 Christian farmers in Nigeria.

More than 200 Christian civilians, including children and elderly people, were killed in a series of coordinated attacks carried out by Islamic terrorists in the Middle Belt region of Nigeria, around the Democracy Day holiday.

The assaults took place between the afternoon of June 11 and the early morning of the 13th of the same month, targeting Christian farming communities located in Plateau and Benue states.

On the night of Tuesday the 11th, just hours before the start of the national holiday, a group of Fulani Islamic terrorists ambushed several Christian farmers in the traditional territory of Rigwe, in Bassa County, Plateau State.

According to local reports, four people—including a nine-month-old baby—were killed near the village of Nkiedonwro as they returned from their fields with freshly harvested vegetables.

Among the victims were displaced people who had previously fled attacks in Nasarawa and Benue states and were taking refuge in stalls and closed shops at the Yelwata market. Witnesses stated that the strikers poured gasoline on the structures and set them on fire, causing the deaths of entire families who were inside.

The growing sense of impunity is causing alarm among civil organizations and regional leaders, who accuse the security forces of acting slowly or indifferently.

The most recent victims were mostly Christian farmers who, after being displaced from their ancestral homes, were attacked again while taking refuge in precarious facilities. The attacks occurred during the national commemoration of Democracy Day, a festive day that celebrates the country's return to democratic rule.
