Sahara Reporters, December 26, 2024:

The Christmas Day celebration turned tragic for the people of Yaav and Mbakyol council wards in the Kwande local government area of Benue State.

The victims, including children as young as 2 and 6 years old, were taken from their families during the attack, which occurred around 4pm. Many others were injured, and some are still reported missing.

SaharaReporters reports that the latest attack is coming barely one month hundreds of armed men stormed communities in Benue State’s Kastina Ala Local Government, killing no fewer than 30 residents and destroying properties worth millions of naira.

A residents Jato-Aka Lawrence Akerigba, who spoke to some journalists on Thursday, on the latest attack, lamented that the communities had been subjected to series of attacks with no help from either the government or the security agencies.

He said, “The attackers invaded Yaav and Mbakyol council wards of Turan community at about 4pm when most residents were at home with their families enjoying the cool breeze of the yuletide, killing 12, injuring scores, and abducted children while others were still missing.”

In a separate incident, a group of eight young boys were ambushed while fetching crops from the farm. One boy was killed, and the remaining seven sustained gunshot injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment.

“On Christmas day evening, eight young boys who are also taking refuge in Jato-Aka town which is Yaav council wards were sent by their parents to bring some crops from the farm so as to prepare food for the family on the Boxing Day and on their way, they met the attackers who opened fire on them, killing one person while the remaining seven who escaped with gunshot injuries are receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.”…

Who said Islam doesn't celebrate Christmas? Muslims are so jealous that they don't have a Christ, they just can't stand it.





Nigeria: Muslims murder Roman Catholic priest the day

after Christmas, abduct 75-y/o Anglican archbishop


“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).

Bangladesh: 17 houses of Tripura Christian community burnt down in Bandarban district when the villagers were in church for Christmas

OpIndia, December 25, 2024:

There is no end to the attack on religious minorities in Bangladesh which started after the Muhammad Yunus-led interim govt took charge following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government. In such a distressing incident coinciding with Christmas celebrations, 17 houses belonging to the Tripura Christian community were set ablaze in Bandarban’s Lama Upazila.

Notably, Tripura Christian refers to people belonging to the Tripura community who follow Christianity.

As per reports, the attack occurred in the early hours of December 25, while residents were away attending prayers in a neighbouring village, as there is no church in their village. There was nobody in the village when the attack took place.

The affected village, New Betachhara Para in the Tongjhiri area is located in Ward No. 8 of Sarai Union of Lama Upazila. The villages had gone to nearby Tonggyajhiri village on Wednesday night to participate in Christmas celebrations. The miscreants took advantage of their absence to torch the homes, resulting in the complete destruction of 17 out of 19 houses in the village.

Gungamani Tripura, one of the victims, expressed his devastation, “Our houses have been completely burned to ashes. Could not save anything.”

Notably, the victim families belonging to the Tripura community have been residing in the Tongjhiri Tripura Para area for several generations. But they were forcibly removed from their homes a few years ago when some people claimed that the area had been leased out to the wife of a police officer and planted trees there. However, after the fall of the Awami League government, they came back to the village and started living in makeshift houses.

At around 12:30 am on Wednesday, the villagers attending Christmas payers in the neighbouring village saw a fire blazing in their village and rushed to their village. But by the time they reached, 17 of the 19 houses were completely gutted. All houses in the village were made of bamboo and straw, therefore the houses burnt quickly….

The horrific attack resulted in the loss of entire families, prompting the community to hold a mass burial to honor their deceased. Among the victims were 1-year-old Sheba Ernest and her mother, Mary Stephen….
