Three new reports confirm the rising tide of violence against Christians in Nigeria and suggest that more Christians are being killed there than anywhere else in the world.
According to the latest report by Nigerian NGO Intersociety, in the four months from January to April 2021 Nigeria ‘lost no fewer than 1,470 Christians … the highest number recorded since 2014’.
And reports just published by both the US State Department and the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) single out Nigeria as a ‘country of particular concern for tolerating severe violations of religious freedom’.
