Nigeria: Christians Targeted in Ongoing Genocide and Massacres

Recent Terrorist Attack on Nigerian Highway

• 🎯 On October 8th, Islamic terrorists established roadblocks on a highway connecting southern Jaws to eastern Jaws, targeting Christian passengers.
• 🔪 Victims were identified as Christians and subsequently slaughtered, with confirmed reports of more than eight people buried the following day.
• ⚠️ The area is dominated by Fulani militants, who are credited with thousands of genocidal massacres, potentially exceeding Boko Haram's toll.

Government Denial and Evidence of Violence

• 🤥 Nigerian authorities are accused of denying and twisting the narrative surrounding the massacres.
• 🕯️ Mass graves and IDP camps serve as undeniable evidence of the ongoing violence, contradicting government claims of mere terrorism.
• 📰 The Nigerian government often denies incidents until the death toll is too high to ignore, and the Nigerian media is often compromised, making independent reporting difficult.

Scale and Nature of the Violence

• 💔 In a separate incident two months prior, over 27 Christians were killed, including 11 children under the age of seven, with the youngest being a 2-month-old.
• ✝️ While Boko Haram and ISIS also kill Christians and moderate Muslims, the primary and largest group of victims in Nigeria's ongoing terrorism are Christians.
• 📈 Conservative estimates suggest 60,000 to 70,000 Christians have been slaughtered in the last two decades, with the majority of victims never being reported.

Broader Context of Terrorism in Nigeria

• 🌍 The Nigerian government attempts to frame the violence as solely related to Boko Haram and ISIS in the northeast, downplaying the broader, systematic targeting of Christians across central and southern regions.
• ⚔️ Moderate Muslims are targeted when they are found to be collaborating with Christians, shielding them, or refusing to adhere to radical Islamic versions.
• 📈 The road slaughter on October 8th, 2025, is estimated to have killed over 10 people, with at least two unaccounted for, and this is in addition to other massacres occurring that week.
