We call on us to take action among the increasing violence against Christians in Nigeria

It will be miserable and fearful Easter for Christians in Nigeria.

Killing and The persecution of Christians By Islamic militants who intend to create the Islamic caliphate in the West African country apparently continue to be unanswered, although the population is 46 % Christians.

“The Nigerian Christians are eliminated, we need to call it what it is – genocide,” Jeff King, the head of the International Christian Interest (ICC), who monitors persecution, told Fox News Digital.

“Let’s start with terrible attacks from April 2 to 3, 2025, in Bokus County in Plato (Nigeria).” Families have al -Kharn, and the children had left homeless. It is a mysterious thing. The worst thing is that nothing is really “special” about this attack. This has lasted for 20 years and only expanded. “

King believes that Nigeria is a field of killing for Christians, and this is not a random violence. He continued with numbers, confirmed by local leaders on the ground in Nigeria.

“It is a calculated batch from Volanis to Christians from their homeland, the middle belt in Nigeria. Since 2001, up to 100,000 Christians have been slaughtered, and 3.5 million farmers have been kicked by their lands by Islamic terrorists Fulani.

“This is the huge seizure of the denial land as a conflict or a tribal spit. What we are witnessing is a huge and long -term jihad.”

It was reported that one of the intended women in an attack told the International Criminal Court, “they want our land, our lives, Jesus.”

At the end of last week, the International Criminal Court and local sources claim that 54 other Christians were slaughtered after celebrating them at the palm service on Sunday in the village of Ziki, near Jose.

Nigeria ranks seventh in the 2025 open world monitoring list, an annual indicator of countries where Christians face more persecuted.

“Christians in the north and central Nigeria face severe violence from Boko HaramRyan Brown, CEO of Open Deal Dealing, said that the recent attacks in the state of Plato represent the other chapter of these tricks: “ISWAP, (West Islamic State County) and armed Fulani fighters who killed thousands of believers, destroyed hundreds of churches and explained the entire Christian societies, and it represents the other chapter in these ongoing tricks of religious angels.

“These attacks were destroyed by societies that were still recovering from the Christmas Eve massacre that killed about 200 Christians in the same region in 2023.”

Brown added that families lost male families, as women and children were suffering from sexual assault.

“Survivors now live in at least four displacement camps, in the face of food insecurity and are not able to reach education or worship safely.”

Bishop Ayyuba Matwal appointed the Islamic killers. Matawal is the chairman of the Popular Welfare Committee internally.

“It seems that some of these extremists have been colored with the ideology of the seizure of lands from Christian societies, and the continuation of the heritage or body of Dan Vodio to spread Islam throughout Nigeria,” he said. “Although their numbers may be small, these extremists have caused severe damage to Christian societies.”

I told the ICC Fox News Digital king that he was calling for Ministry of Foreign Affairs to include Nigeria As a state of special concern (CPC).

This is an American government mark that means sanctions, pressure and real consequences.

King added that he believed that the United States should “cut all aid (financial and military) to Nigeria so that we can start seeing a meaningful decrease in attacks, arrested the perpetrators and recovering lands.”

While the attacks on Christians did not mention, a Fox News Digital spokesman still told “the United States still feels deeply concerned about the ongoing violence in West Africa, including in the middle belt in Nigeria. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims for the last violence in Plato.

“We also continue to communicate with the Nigeria government at the highest levels to address the radical causes of violence (we call strongly to protect all citizens.

“We click on the commitment of the President (Nigerian) Tenobo to address the causes of violence and urge the government to take purposeful and decisive steps to prevent further attacks, ensure accountability for the perpetrators and promote peace and stability in the long term”

In Nigeria, the bishop Matwal warned that Easter weekend“Christian societies are at maximum alert, especially during ecclesiastical services and religious gatherings.”

“Nigerian Christians carry their cross every day, but their hope rises like a resurrection,” King said. “Easter is everything about winning life over death, and these Christians live this outside. But let’s raise a cry and say” we hear you, we are with you, stick to a little longer. “

Fox News Digital communicated with the Nigerian government, but it did not receive a response.
