An anti-Christian mob have attacked another village in Nigeria killing six an “ethnic cleansing” of religious groups. A Christian church, hospital and homes were burned in the latest attack. There is a religious crisis which has seen thousands of Christians killed in what is being called “ethnic cleansing”.
Attackers arrived in the village of Rahwol-Fwi, central Nigeria, on motorcycles at night, in an hour-long raid before the military intervened.
At least 17 homes were torched, when they then set fire to the Baptist church, the vicarage and a government run hospital.
Major Umar Adams, spokesman of the military Special Task Force, said four people had been arrested in connection with the attack. The attack comes just days after 238 Christians were killed at the weekend in a number of attacks by militia in Plateau State.
The Christian Association of Nigeria reports that 6,000 Christian worshippers have already been killed this year. They said: “There is no doubt that the sole purpose of these attacks is aimed at ethnic cleansing, land grabbing and forceful ejection of the Christian natives from their ancestral land and heritage.
“What is happening in Plateau state and other select states in Nigeria is pure genocide and must be stopped immediately.”
