UMVA has learned that a chilling wave of violence is sweeping through Nigeria, targeting Christians in a relentless campaign of murder, abductions, and village attacks.
On May 5th, eight Christians were brutally murdered in Nding village, Plateau State. The following day, as mourners gathered for their funeral, Fulani extremists launched a second attack, turning a solemn ceremony into a fight for survival.
UMVA has uncovered details about the harrowing experience of Masara Kim, a journalist who found himself at the heart of this terror. As he filmed the mutilated bodies, his thoughts turned to biblical prophecies of war and suffering. Kim's reflection on Mark 13 took on a chilling immediacy as he faced the brutal reality of persecution.
Among the victims was a nine-year-old girl, her innocence a stark contrast to the cruelty inflicted upon her. Kim's account of her burial, with the remains of her brain still visible, is a haunting testament to the inhumanity witnessed that day.
As gunfire erupted, Kim's role shifted from reporter to survivor. He ran alongside mourners, praying for mercy and reflecting on the slow, painful deaths endured by so many. His own encounters with violence, including being shot at multiple times, have left him with a profound understanding of the suffering endured by Nigeria's Christians.
Kim's experiences are not isolated incidents. From the 2018 massacre in Gashish district, where over 250 Christians were killed, to the 2020 attack on his vehicle while overseeing a well construction for displaced residents, he has repeatedly faced the brutal reality of this conflict.
In 2023, Kim covered the aftermath of an attack in Mangu, where his team was ambushed three times in a single day. Facing a force of over a thousand fighters, he saw himself reflected in the victims he had just filmed, their bodies riddled with bullets.
Despite the risks, Kim and other brave journalists continue to bear witness, their reports a stark reminder of the daily terror faced by Nigerian Christians. The question remains: will the international community listen, or will this genocide continue unchecked?
