Summary

A report by US-based Christian nonprofit Equipping the Persecuted (ETP) states that over 4,200 Christians have been killed in Nigeria this year, with over 600 Christian communities destroyed or abandoned and over five million Christians displaced by violence and insecurity. The report attributes a significant proportion of the violence to organized Fulani militant networks, alongside established Islamist groups including Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), Ansaru, and Lakurawa. The report highlights Benue, Plateau, and Southern Kaduna as facing the most acute danger, with Taraba, Nasarawa, Niger, and Kwara also under significant pressure. The report emphasizes that the violence is religiously motivated and carried out through organized militant networks, rather than isolated communal disputes.
