Fresh concerns have emerged over security in parts of Plateau State after a kidnapped pastor’s wife revealed alleged plans by Fulani terrorists to attack Christian villages later this year.
The woman, who was abducted and later released, shared her experience in a Media Church video in which her account was interpreted by Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo. According to her testimony, the kidnappers openly discussed future attacks while holding her captive.
She reportedly told Reverend Dachomo that the armed men claimed Christians should brace themselves from November, with December marked as the period they would move into targeted villages and surrounding areas. The group allegedly boasted that no security forces were present to stop them.
During her captivity, the kidnappers also accused Christian communities of violence against them, including claims that their cattle were killed in Mangu. They portrayed themselves as victims, despite being accused by Christian leaders of widespread attacks, killings, and kidnappings across the region.
Reverend Dachomo described the statements as a deliberate message meant to instill fear, noting that the group specifically mentioned Marit and vowed they would not forgive what they claimed had been done to them.
Christian leaders are calling for urgent attention from security agencies and authorities, warning that the testimony points to a real and immediate threat. Community members say the account highlights the growing danger faced by unprotected rural Christians and underscores the need for decisive intervention before the end of the year.
