There are 93.8 million Christians in Nigeria, making up 46.7 per cent of the population. In the south of the country, Nigerians are free to follow Jesus – but northern Nigeria has seen extreme Christian persecution carried out by Islamic extremists.
The Church of the Brethren in Nigeria has reported that Boko Haram terrorists carried out over “fifty different attacks on different communities between the end of 2019 to June 2020,” most of which were “unreported ….by both the print and electronic media.” Converts from Islam are in greatest danger.
