County Chairman Markus Artu declared a curfew beginning Sunday due to ongoing violence. This was the second time in a month when Fulani extremists violated a curfew – more than 40 Christians were killed last month near Mangu.

Christians in Mangu have suffered from recent Fulani militant violence. More than 16 communities were attacked in recent months, with dozens of Christians killed, farms destroyed, and houses burned.
