Christianity is facing a deadly crisis in more than half of Africa's 54 countries, with reports of persecution, killings, and displacements in 28 nations on the continent. The situation is particularly dire in Nigeria, where nine out of 10 Christians killed for their faith in 2023 were from. The country has been described as one of the deadliest places on earth to be a Christian, with a staggering 82% of global Christian deaths occurring there.
The Nigerian research group Intersociety has labeled the killing of Christians in Nigeria as genocide, reporting over 8,000 Christian deaths or abductions from January 2023 to January 2024. Shockingly, over 18,500 Christian worship places were destroyed in Nigeria between 2009 and 2023.
