Armed Muslim Fulani tribesmen abducted at least three Christian leaders and killed 18 Christians in the week leading to Christmas Day as they increased attacks on farming communities in Nigeria’s Kaduna state, according to a report.
On Dec. 24, armed Fulani men “mercilessly” beat the Rev. Luka Shaho of the Assemblies of God Church and then abducted his wife, Jumai Luka, in the Ungwan Waziri area in Chikun Local Government Area of central Kaduna state, the U.K.-based group Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported.

He argued that the administration had failed to address the deteriorating insecurity nepotism and general poverty in Nigeria, which he said was gradually turning the country into a failed state.
Rev. Nmadu (Jnr.) who is the current General Secretary of Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in a statement on Tuesday said the federal government should take steps towards addressing those concerns raised by Kukah, rather than allegedly sponsoring fake groups to attack the clergy.
He said it was worrisome that some “uncharitable groups” in the North were calling for the arrest of a man who he said spoke the minds of millions of Nigerians, adding, “They must be joking.”
