Nandu, Southern Kaduna : Homes Still In Ruins 

It's been almost 6 months that night marauders invaded Nandu village in Southern Kaduna Nigeria.
That fateful weekend, I woke up to disturbing news from Nigeria:
JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 10 Christians in Southern Kaduna state, Nigeria on Saturday (March 16), bringing the lives lost in the past five weeks to 140 with 160 houses destroyed, sources said.

“We were all asleep in our various homes when at about 4 a.m. [Saturday], we heard gunshots everywhere in my village,” Amos Samuel, 40, of Nandu Gbok village in Sanga County told Morning Star News. “Everyone ran out of their homes to escape from the Fulani herdsmen. Three hours after the herdsmen left, those of us who survived the attack returned to the village to find that our houses were destroyed and 10 of our villagers killed.”
About 30 houses were burned in the attack, Sanga chairman Charles Danladi told Morning Star News, who also said 10 people were killed.

“The attack occurred while the villagers were still sleeping,” he said. “Normalcy has now been restored in the village, and we are making efforts to assist victims.”
The Kaduna governor’s spokesman said Saturday night (March 16) that nine people died in the attack.
“The security agencies have so far recovered nine corpses, including children,” Samuel Aruwan said in a press statement. “Violence has left an unacceptable toll of death and injury, loss of livelihoods, pain and fear. The government condemns this attack on the life and security of citizens and appeals to our communities to resist those who do not want peace.”

Security agencies have been deployed in the area, and the State Emergency Management Agency has been directed to immediately provide relief materials to the affected community, Aruwan said.

Pastor Bako commissioning the building project 

Not much has been done by the government to resettle the displaced people of Nandu village.  Healing Hands Health Society founded by Dr. Uvoh Onoriobe, a missionary dentist based in Detroit Michigan, USA swung into action, first with the intention to rebuild the one home but now willing to rebuild all thirty homes in that village.  2 homes have been completed and another 2 is in progress.

It is obvious that it is you and I that will rebuild the old waste places of Southern Kaduna. “Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.” Ezra 10:4
