TOPSHOT - Mourners attend the funeral of 43 farm workers in Zabarmari, about 20km from Maiduguri, Nigeria, on November 29, 2020 after they were killed by Boko Haram fighters in rice fields near the village of Koshobe on November 28, 2020. - The assailants tied up the agricultural workers and slit their throats in the village of Koshobe. [/b]The victims were labourers from Sokoto state in northwest Nigeria, roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) away, who had travelled to the northeast to find work.

[b]Roughly 3,462 Christians have been killed by Islamic militants in Nigeria this year.


The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law — a Nigeria-based nonprofit — reports that the number of deaths halfway through 2021 is nearly equivalent to the number of deaths in all of 2020.

The group explains:

This number further represents daily average Christian deaths of seventeen and second highest since 2014 when over 5000 Christian deaths were recorded in the hands of Boko Haram and Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen. While Boko Haram killed over 4000 Christians in 2014, the Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen accounted for 1,229 Christian deaths. In our last report issued on 11th May 2021, covering January to April 2021, we found that no fewer than 1,470 Christians were hacked to death and in the past 80 days or 1st May to 18th July 2021, not less than 1, 992 Christian lives have been lost.

The group also observed a rise in the number of abducted Christians and damaged churches:

This is pure Evil jihad that's going on in this strange country.

so sad,
but it's a paradox that some Nigeria christians are still supporting this jihad movement, by supporting the coded jihad terrorist govt.
how can a normal govt be indifferent to the daily massacre of her citizens, without bringing the murderers to the temple of justice ?
