The Muslim Slaughter of Christians
Nigeria: According to a Feb. 13 report, more than 100 Christians were killed and more than 90,000 displaced after months of coordinated attacks on rural communities since September 2025. In areas such as Takum, Ussa, and Donga, armed groups have repeatedly raided villages, killing residents, burning homes, churches, and crops, and forcing survivors to flee into the surrounding areas. Entire communities have been obliterated. Many displaced families are unable to return: attackers reportedly seized farmland and target those who try to come back.
A Feb. 10 report detailed that Christian communities, amid ongoing kidnappings and killings, continue to live in fear. In one instance, more than 160 Christians were abducted during church services—particularly in regions of Kaduna state. A Catholic priest, Bobbo Paschal, was released after spending 61 days in captivity after his abduction during an attack in which another church member was killed and others were taken hostage.
On Feb. 6, nine Catholic worshippers were kidnapped in Benue State during a night prayer vigil at a mission station. Armed terrorists stormed the church and abducted them to an unknown location, prompting calls for prayer and urgent rescue efforts from the local diocese.
On Feb. 7, coordinated terror attacks on multiple predominantly Christian villages in Taraba State left some 70 people dead. Homes were burned, food supplies destroyed, and property looted, forcing many residents to flee into nearby bushes or neighboring areas. Community leaders reported that at least 35 churches were vandalized or destroyed; a pastor was among those killed. One person was abducted; many others remain missing.
Survivors said there was no visible security presence during the attack, thereby leaving the community defenseless.
