The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
On September 17th, a pastor and dozens from his congregation were kidnapped from a Christian church in northwest Nigeria. Fifty-seven Christians were kidnapped at another church in a north-central state less than a week before. There has been a significant increase in attacks and abductions of both Christian church members and their clergy in Nigeria. According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), forty-five attacks were carried out in the first six months of 2022 alone. Last June, at least fifty died when assailants opened fire and detonated explosives. From January 2020 to July 2022, there were ninety-nine separate incidents in which priests were kidnapped or murdered. Malik Samuel, a researcher at the Institute of Security Studies, explains, “When you kidnap or kill a Christian priest, you get local and as well international attention, and that brings legitimacy to your ransom demand.” The Christian NGO Open Doors reported that 4,650 Christians were killed in Nigeria in 2021. Adebayo Oladeji, a spokesman from the Christian Association of Nigeria, said, “It is becoming a hopeless situation.”
