More than ten Christians have been murdered and four others kidnapped by Fulani Herdsmen in Plateau State, Nigeria.

Witnesses revealed that a recent attack in Shendai village in Namu District saw four victims abducted at gunpoint, following five days of attacks in three different villages, Morning Star News reports.

Local residents from Lightlubang, Chisu and Jwakkom villages detailed the horror of watching herdsmen killing men, women and children, with at least two entire families killed across the five days of attacks, alongside another Christian couple.
