The U.S. State Department and a Christian non-profit organization have called for the Nigerian government to take action against the violence. The State Department confirmed the killings and condemned the violence against Christians in Nigeria. Dachomo stated that he has conducted over 70 mass burials of Christians due to ongoing violence, with a recent report indicating that the Fulani militia is responsible for a significant number of deaths among Christians in Nigeria.
