"For those of the Christian/praying persuasion- just saw this on the opendoors website. A terrifying situation possibly happening as we 'speak':
Open Doors field staff in Nigeria have asked for urgent prayer after residents of six Christian communities in Yola, Adamawa State, received written warnings that Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen will attack today, 20 April.
While women and children have fled into the bush, we have received word that Christian men from neighbouring regions are heading to Yola with arms, aiming to defend the town that suffered a deadly attack in January.
"It is a very explosive situation," said an Open Doors expert. "I know that these kinds of written warnings are quite common. I am aware of other cases where similar warnings were dropped prior to attacks during the Boko Haram insurgency. Whether the connection with Fulani herders was stated in the written warning is not certain at all."
Please pray:
That the army would be able to protect these communities
For the women and children hiding in the bush, that they would be comforted and receive God's provision
For stability and peace in northern Nigeria."
