They were mostly women and children, they were defenceless, they were unprotected.
They died without knowing why or how.
Some where butchered on their beds while many more were killed while trying to flee from their attackers; Muslims who feel these people do not deserve to live and do not deserve the lives they have. Women were hacked down as they tried to cover and protect their children with their bodies.
Little babies were snatched from their mothers and thrown into the burning flames set by the attackers.
Christians in three villages in a community near Jos were shot and butchered in cold blood, simply because they were Christians.
The Muslim sect, Jama’atu Ahlissunnah Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad, otherwise known as Boko Haram, on Tuesday in a statement claimed responsibility for the mass killings in Plateau State at the weekend.
More than 100 persons were reportedly killed in attacks on three communities in the Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas of the state on Saturday and Sunday.
The sect “thanked God for the success of the attacks” and vowed that there was no going back on the jihad (Holy War) it had launched against Christians and the government. It also asked “Christians in Nigeria to accept Islam” as a condition for a ceasefire.
We call on the people of God worldwide to join us in prayers for Plateau State and the families of these people who died senselessly to satisfy the despotic cravings of Muslims in Jos.
We pray for a miracle from God to halt the violence, destruction and bloodshed and for the spiritual gift of forgiveness in and on the church on the Plateau, Amen.
