Over 30 Christians Killed in Palm Sunday Attack

More than 30 Christians were killed by radical Islamists on Palm Sunday. On March 29, 2026, around 7:45 p.m., a group of jihadi terrorists on motorbikes rode into a crowded outdoor market in the Christian area of Jos, Nigeria. The group was yelling “Allahu Akbar!” and began shooting unarmed people. Bystanders ran for cover, but the Islamists killed some 30 people and injured even more. “The area is a 100% Christian community,” said a front-line worker. “Right now, the entire region is under curfew. There is a serious tension within Jos and its environs, and people fear another deadly attack by the terrorists.” The front-line worker asks for prayer for the families of the victims, for those who have been injured and for Nigerian Christians to show the light of Christ to their enemies despite such attacks.
