CWN Editor's Note: Fides, the news agency of the Pontifical Mission Societies, reported that Fulani bandits desecrated and destroyed the parish church in Aye-Twar, a Nigerian village.
The Fulani, who are predominantly Muslim, “set fire to the parish office and rectory, and looted or destroyed parish property and vehicles,” according to the report.
A Nigerian Capuchin Franciscan priest posted photographs of the destroyed church on social media.
