276 mostly Christian schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram in late April 2014. Dozens of Christians have been slaughtered, and dozens more kidnapped, in a string of attacks by Islamists across the expanses of Nigeria, according to a new report. It is Baptist Press that described the massacre that has been documented by Christian Daily International-Morning Star News across Nigeria since just late last month. “At least three pastors were killed in attacks in Kaduna in north-central Nigeria and Gombe in northeastern Nigeria. In the most recent attack, Islamic extremist group Boko Haram is accused of killing Bala Galadima, an Evangelical Church Winning All pastor, in an attack at his home in Lubo, Gombe, on Feb. 9,” the report documented. The violence that is estimated to have cost at least 50 lives so far is being blamed on Boko Haram, an Islamist gang, as well as Islamist Fulani tribesmen, with the violence being described as extreme. Galadima, for example, reportedly was shot to death at point-blank range in his back while he was in his own bed at 1 a.m. Another ECWA pastor, Bitrus Saleh Africa, was killed Feb. 5, with three other Christians, the report said. Yet another ECWA pastor, “identified only as Rev. Ezekiel,” was killed Jan. 30 by attackers identified as Fulani bandits in Kaduna. In what probably was the deadliest single attack, the report said, 16 people in The Lord Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry were murdered Feb. 2 when Fulani militants reportedly stormed a village in Ebonyi state. International Christian Concern reported that attack culminated when the attackers burned down many homes. Another six Christians were killed, eight kidnapped, and more homes were burned in three villages in Benue state. A series of attacks from Jan. 27-Feb 1 in Plateau state left at least 11 Christians dead and more kidnapped. “Dear God, please come to our aid. We need you here in Mangu, Plateau State. My heart bleeds,” CDI-Morning Star reported local resident Nanbam Denan texted to news outlets. Another resident, identified as Bankat, said, “Terrorists we know to be Fulani herdsmen invaded Lightitlubang village and killed five Christians – a man, his wife and a child, alongside another Christian couple. The victims were slaughtered by the terrorists.” Fulani tribespeople are predominantly Muslim and comprise numerous clans totaling millions in Nigeria. Open Doors, the report said, ranked Nigeria as the 7th most dangerous country for Christians in its 2025 World Watch List. It, in fact, remains the deadliest country for Christians, with 3,100 murdered during 2024.
