Jihadist Militia Murder Congregation of Roman Catholics, Stuff Local Wells with Corpses

Nearly 50 residents of Ayati village in Central Nigeria were murdered by Fulani bikers, including 20 Roman Catholics gathered for service, with the victims gunned down and their bodies stuffed into wells, according to a new report by Truth Nigeria. Local resident Akika Tsav shared what he witnessed:

It was around 4:30 pm when I heard the sound of motorcycles approaching our compound…I counted up to 15 gunmen shooting indiscriminately into huts and at people running for their lives. They shot point-blank at anyone they saw, ensuring those shots were killed with a bullet to the head.

Tsav’s voice cracked as he described the slaughter of his family members. “I watched in horror as my two brothers, my cousin, and her 8-month-old baby were gunned down before my eyes. My mother, over 90 years old, died of shock. The trauma of that day will haunt me forever.”

We’ve written about the violence and persecution of the Faluni before, who have taken a particular interest in murdering Christians. Fulani Herdsman Behead Christian Father, 7-Year-old Son, that time

Another resident Ayati Ahangba, who lost three brothers and five cousins, wept as he detailed the attack on St. Peter Catholic Church, which was stormed by the gunman:

The congregation, unaware of the horror that was about to unfold, was mercilessly gunned down, leaving 20 innocent lives lost.

Resident Terso James also added:

The attackers, with prior knowledge of the ongoing mass, deliberately targeted their church. They opened fire on the unsuspecting worshipers, killing those who attempted to flee. Their bodies were left to lie in the sacred space where they had sought solace and peace.

Truth Nigeria also reports:

According to Tsav, the Fulani terrorists, who had been attacking other counties in North East Benue State, had decide to make the village an example of the consequence of resistance to Fulani land takeover.  Ayati residents had dare to resist the free grazing of Fulani cattle herds on the croplands of the farmers.

…The survivors of the Ayati Precinct massacre are now facing a new nightmare: a looming epidemic outbreak. Charred and decomposing bodies litter the farms and homesteads, and water wells have been poisoned by rotting corpses.

Health officials are racing against time to contain the crisis, but their efforts are being hindered by the sheer scale of the devastation. Tsav, a survivor, described the horrific scene:

“Our wells were filled with corpses, a gruesome sight that will haunt us forever. The Fulanis showed no mercy, stuffing dead bodies into our wells, but that’s not all—the terrorists also poisoned the ponds with Gammalin 20, a pesticide, ensuring that the survivors would be denied even a drop of clean water.
