There are over 800 Christians and Muslims killed, 16 churches destroyed in the last months of 2016 in Nigeria during the recent Islamic terror spree.
According to a local bishop, the Fulani herdsmen terrorists, who did this, reportedly represented a rising Islamic threat in Nigeria.
"Fifty-three villages burned down, 808 people murdered and 57 wounded, 1,422 houses and 16 churches destroyed," Bishop Joseph Bagobiri of the Diocese of Kafanchan told international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, recounting the violence Christians have faced since September.
The bishop added that the Fulani radicals targets both Christians and Muslims.
"In addition to the social and economic issues that have fueled conflict since ancient times, such as the distribution of the land and shortage of grazing, the dimension of the problem has changed," Bagobiri continued."The Fulani are Muslim and the land they are attacking belongs mainly to ethnic groups that are Christian; now there is religious hatred driving the violence."
