Fifty bodies, linked to the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN), were reportedly discovered in the home of a pastor in Matse. The bodies were suspected to be those who ran for safety to the pastor’s house as they were being pursued by the suspected Fulani attackers.
Zee News reported:
At least 115 people, including a federal senator and a state parliamentarian, have been killed in central Nigeria in the last two days with herdsmen from the Fulani tribe besieging and raiding Christian villages near conflict-prone Jos city, prompting violent clashes.
Those killed today were attending the funeral of 63 other people killed earlier yesterday in Karkuruk village in Barkin Ladi local government area when the assailants returned to kill more people with guns and machetes.
Chairman of Barkain Ladi Local Government Emmanuel Lomang, and member representing Barakin Ladi/Riyom in the House of Representatives Simon Mwadkom, narrowly escaped death today.
Mwadkom was wounded and lying unconscious in the hospital at Barakin Ladi General Hospital.
After the attack on funeral attendees, some 50 bodies were also discovered burnt in the house of a pastor of the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN) in Matse village in Riyom Local Government Area of the state.
The discovery of the bodies brought the total number of deaths since yesterday to 115 including that of the lawmakers.
Details of how the lawmakers were killed is still sketchy but villagers said gunmen descended from the hills at Matse as they were conducting the burial and closed in on them.

The world has turned absolutely MAD!
Morgan commented:
Where are the Church leaders? In the ’60s, before Vatican II, we prayed after every mass for the conversion of Russia and Christians throughout the world. Every summer, missionaries came to the US and spoke to our congregations about persecution, and the strides they were making in Africa, India, and elsewhere.
The only groups that we hear from today are CNS and Voice of the Martyrs. Western Churches are too busy worrying about social programs losing funding, etc to see the big picture.
Our people perish from OUR lack of knowledge.
Bubba commented:
What a world. How the hell can this madness not make one apathetic? This is why I get such a kick out of the freaks willing to risk elections over pro life. 7 billion humans, a world of utter sh*t where millions are starving, and thousands are being buthered every single day, and people are crying over some unborn “what might have been” person? Good lord.
In an uncaring world, you can’t care (or, you go insane).
Bono may be a liberal freak, but he nailed it in the song “Peace on Earth”–
“And you become a monster, so the monster does not break you.”
The “monster” is a person who doesn’t care.
Patty commented:
I am so upset this continues to happen for practicing their faith. Where are we? We hear of this things every week, over and over again.
Where are the needed people who can stop these atrocities. We all have seen this, so should some of the leaders.
I suppose that a dinner with Morsi is more important. I will repeat, if Obama is re-elected and the passing of Obama care, this government will do more. And we are becoming more and more weak as he keeps reducing our military power.
Morsi in the White House, liberal radical leading our nation. It is coming, more depression and we are setting ourselves up to be attacked by other nations.
Sorry my comparison maybe seem shameful but when are faith is under attacked by government, we are getting closer to hell.
May they R.I.P. this is evil.
And here at home we need to remain strong.
Finncrisp commented:
The only way this stops is when you find a person important enough who doesn’t want to die who KNOWS you can make him die unles he stops the atrocities. That is the only way it works. One may go through one cycle of making that person die so the depsot who replaces him gets the same message and knows you mean it.
Human history shows this is the only outcome that works.
Larkin commented:
If only ONE muslim or athiest had been looked at cross-wise by a Christian, the liberal, God-less media would be on it 24/7.
Their silence on this atrocity is criminal in and of itself.
Adirondack Patriot commented:
And the world sits in silence. Where pacifists have undermined the legitimate militaries of the world with ridiculous charges of political correctness under a false flag of “Human Rights”, the real outlaws continue to flourish and murder with impugnity and violate every conceivable human right.
This is how a liberal world looks. To liberals, “Peace” means you bring your own shovels and die quietly.
Patty commented:
This of course is naive but send in a few well armed covert men and women. That a do it.
Naive, of course but I certainly would love it. That would “make my day.”

And The Good Reverend Jeremiah Wright had this comment ??????????????Later today in the rose garden obama will say?????????????????????
workingclass artist commented:
St. Stephen looked to heaven and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God” (Acts 7:56). At this, the enraged crowd ran violently upon him and cast him out of the city. Stephen was stoned to death but had cried out to the Lord to not condemn his enemies.
Stephen, whose name means “crown” was the first of Jesus’ disciples to receive the
martyr’s crown.
Omnes sancti Mártyres, oráte pro nobis.
All ye Holy Martyrs, pray for us
Jaimo commented:
Bubba, your comments are totally stupid. Based on your comments, those poor people in Nigeria didn’t have the “luxury” of being “some unborn, might have been person” aborted by some liberal whack job as yourself. I guess your respect for life only includes those that escape being aborted and are killed later?
Well you will probably get your wish soon, because if the progressives get their way they will be able to kill you after you’ve seen your first birthday if the mother decides you’re cramping her style or you aren’t considered perfect by the progressive socialist party and worthy of living.
Peter Warner commented:
My God.
I’m always moved by appeals to prayer for the perpetrators, as some have posted above. A dear friend from Kenya once quoted his long-suffering pastor to me: ‘We fight on our knees’, and Brother Alex, I will always keep that in my heart.
Yet at the same time, I’m compelled to seek justice, and protect the innocent from abuse. This kind of persecution should not be promoted or assisted, and to remain passive in the face of murder strikes me as being complicit with it. Does not the command ‘Thou shalt not murder’ also imply ‘thou shalt not allow murder’? Are we not obligated to interfere with those who conduct murder?
Sincerely, can someone here offer a sound Biblical justification for taking up arms against these butchers? Or a sound Biblical justification for rebuking such a desire?
An elder once admonished me: ‘I’m hoping for mercy, not justice.’ Brother Frank, that moves me, but I still feel that our Lord also loves justice.
What should the response of a Godly man be in the face of this unspeakable horror?
Sincerely, Peter Warner.

I don’t know if you are, but if you are confusing the United Church of Christ and J Wright, please don’t.! The Church of Christ, and the United Church of Christ are totally different. I am a member of the Church of Christ, and my heart aches for those that were murdered in Nigeria.I cry for them and pray for any survivors.. … But I wouldn’t expect to hear from Mr, Wright as he is only concerned in sowing discord under the name of religion.
This goes along with the report yesterday, that the United Nations of Islam, intends to wipe Christianity off the face of the earth.
Chris commented:
The Libstream media wouldn’t never touch stories such as this in a million years, but let a Christian kill a Muslim and see what happens. Splattered all over the news, Hate crime, DOJ involved, police look the way way like in Dearborn , Michigan, Obama would say if he had a son it would be this Muslim person that was killed.
