Emotions As Plateau Church Regathers After Christmas Day Massacre (video)

A viral video capturing a Church in Plateau state, regathering after herdsmen launched a massacre attack against it in December 2023, has stirred emotions among many.

Recall that on Christmas’ Eve last year, over 150 people were killed and over 10,000 persons displaced, after separate attacks by herdsmen in remote villages in North Plateau state.

Officials and survivors confirmed the Christmas Eve attacks and blamed the killings on the farmer-herder crisis in Nigeria.

A former Atheist and American based Legal Counsel, Sean Nelson, who paid a visit to the church, couldn’t hide his emotions as he saw the villagers coming out to praise God despite suffering persecution for Christ.

Sharing the experience of his visit to the church accompanied with the video, via his Official X handle, ‘@Sean ADFInti’, Nelson said, “This church is where the Christmas massacres began in Bokkos, Plateau, Nigeria.

“As we were visiting, the villagers all came & spontaneously began singing & praising the Lord. They just returned from IDP camps weeks ago & need more security. May God hear & multiply their song!”

The ex atheist added, “It was so moving. They hadn’t had anyone from the West walk & speak & fellowship with them there since Christmas.

“It”s such a beautiful place. I can’t understand the evil that would set out to destroy such a beautiful & peaceful people. But God’s within us can’t be destroved.”
