ChristianToday.com reports: “Islamic extremists and radicalized herder militias have killed over 7,000 Christians within the first 220 days of 2025, a new report estimates, as human rights advocates continue to criticize the Nigerian government’s inability to protect Christians.
The Anambra-based International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), headed by Christian criminologist and researcher Emeka Umeagbalasi, reported that at least 7,087 Christians ‘were massacred across Nigeria’ from Jan. 1 until Aug. 10.
During that time, ‘no fewer than 7,800 others were violently seized and abducted for being Christians,’ the report estimates. The organization relies on what it deems to be credible local and foreign media reports, government accounts, reports from international rights groups and eyewitness accounts to compile statistical data.
‘The brutal massacre of an estimated 7,087 Christians and abduction of 7,800 others also translated to an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour,’ Intersociety’s report reads. ‘An estimated 35 Christians are also calculated to have been abducted daily and roughly two others per hour, in the said past 220 days or seven months and ten days of 2025.’…”
