My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, My heart is heavy as I speak these words. We cried out for help when our people were bleeding, when our villages were burning, and when widows and orphans were multiplying in our land. In our pain and desperation, we called for the attention of the world, and even invited leaders like Donald Trump to see the suffering of the persecuted Christians in Nigeria. But today, the pain in our hearts has only deepened. The help we cried for has been redirected. The voice that was supposed to speak for the oppressed has been diverted, and now many who did not cry out for this help are the ones benefiting from it, while the Christians who first lifted the alarm remain in tears, burying their loved ones and wiping the tears of countless widows. My brethren, this is painful. It feels like we have been forgotten. Yet the Word of God reminds us that even when men fail us, God never abandons His people. The Bible says in Psalm 34:19: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” Yes, we are afflicted. Yes, we are wounded. Yes, we feel abandoned by men. But the Lord has not abandoned His church. Remember the story of Joseph. His own brothers sold him into slavery. They thought they had finished him, but God was preparing him for a greater purpose. What the enemy meant for evil, God turned for good. In the same way, what we see today may look like injustice, but our God is a God of justice. The Bible says in Romans 12:19: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Therefore, my beloved Christians around the world, do not grow weary. Do not lose faith. Do not stop praying for the suffering church in Nigeria. Stand with us. Pray for us. Speak for us. For the Lord also said in Isaiah 41:10: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee.” Our hope is not in any president, government, or human authority. Our hope is in the Almighty God who watches over His people day and night. And I declare today: the tears of the church in Nigeria will not fall to the ground in vain. God sees every tear, hears every cry, and one day He will arise for His people. May the Lord comfort every grieving family, strengthen every persecuted believer, and establish justice in our land.

Do you know…? Do you know that this last attack was shamelessly tagged a “reprisal” by these merciless men payback, they claimed, for the death of their brethren whose bodies were discovered on their own terrain at night. Yet without evidence, without truth, they quickly placed the blame on the innocent Christians of Dorowa Babuje, the nearest community to them. But do you know the painful truth? That very terrain they speak of is a No-Go Area for Christians even in broad daylight. Believers cannot pass through it safely when the sun is high in the sky let alone sneak into that place in the darkness of night. How then could Christians have entered a land crawling with armed killer herdsmen, carried out such an act, and left without anyone noticing? Do you know what truly happened on February 22, 2026? Killer herdsmen descended on Dorowa Babuje like wolves upon helpless sheep. They surrounded the community with evil intent burning in their hearts. Their first victims were five innocent men at a roadside shop along the federal road. Those men were not soldiers, not fighters just ordinary people trying to survive another day. The attackers slit their throats, and in an act of horrifying cruelty, blew open their skulls. Five lives gone in an instant. But their bloodlust was not satisfied. They pushed deeper into the community, spreading terror like wildfire. Four more people were brutally murdered, and many others were left wounded, bleeding, and crying for help. Only the swift intervention of the military forced the attackers to retreat. Had help delayed even a little longer, today we would not be mourning nine souls we would be burying over a hundred . Do you know something even more disturbing? Mahanga and Lukere have long been known as strongholds and camping grounds for these killer herdsmen. Yet, strangely, the military has not deemed it necessary to enter those infamous settlements to search for weapons or arrest the criminals hiding there. And do you know the cruelest irony of these attacks? After the blood dries and the cries fade, the families of the victims are left alone to carry their grief. No justice. No closure. Just silence. They return home to empty chairs, empty beds, and memories that haunt them every single day. Today, I looked into the faces of the people… and what I saw was pure pain and unfiltered agony. One of the men who was killed had a pregnant wife. He never lived long enough to see the face of his first child. That woman will soon give birth, and one day she will hold that child close and whisper with tears in her eyes: “Your father was killed… by herdsmen.” What kind of world forces a child to grow up with such a story? Today, many Christians feel like chickens in their own land defenseless, hunted, and abandoned. And the question that echoes in our hearts is this: How long will this continue?
