The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (InterSociety), Nigeria, in a Situation Report on Monday revealed a brutal wave of attacks against Christians between October 28 and November 11, 2025, resulting in the deaths of 101 Christians and the abduction of 114 others.

The Situation Report signed on behalf of InterSociety by Emeka Umeagbalasi, a Criminologist, Researcher and Head; Obianuju Joy Igboeli, Esquire, Human Rights Lawyer/Head, Dept. of Civil Liberties and Rule of Law; Ogochukwu Obi, Esquire, Deputy Head, Dept. of Int’l Justice and Human Rights; and Comrade Samuel Kamanyaoku, Head, Field Data Collection and Documentation Department.

The report shows a distribution of casualties across states, reflecting the widespread nature of the violence, with Taraba State as the hardest hit, with 34 Christians killed during the two-week period, followed by Plateau State, where 22 deaths were recorded.

In Kaduna State, 16 Christians lost their lives, while Benue State reported 15 fatalities. Borno State witnessed four deaths, and Edo State accounted for one death, which involved the killing of Seminarian Emmanuel Alabi in captivity.

In addition to these reported figures, InterSociety noted the existence of “dark figures” of crime, estimating that approximately ten additional Christians may have been killed in captivity but remain unreported.

The Street Reporters Newspaper reports that the pattern of abductions within the period was similarly alarming. Kaduna State accounted for 50 of the abducted Christians, while Taraba State recorded 30. Plateau and Benue States each reported six abductions, and the Kogi/Kwara axis saw 12 Christians abducted.

InterSociety also acknowledged a further ten unreported cases, bringing the total estimated number of abducted Christians during this period to 114. Within these attacks, four Christian clerics were killed and four others abducted, while six churches were attacked and sacked across Benue, Borno, Kaduna, and Taraba States.

These figures, according to the situation report, underline a daily average of seven Christians killed and eight abducted across the six affected states.

The organization warned that the violence represents a growing and coordinated campaign of terror targeting defenseless Christian populations and their places of worship, emphasizing the urgent need for immediate government intervention and international attention.

The Situation Report read in part: “The egregious attacks carried out mostly by Jihadist Fulani Militants in the past fourteen days of Oct 28 to Nov 11, 2025 have resulted to the abduction and killing of no fewer than eight Christian clerics and sacking of several ancestral homes and lands belonging to defenseless Christian population especially in Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Taraba and Borno.

“There is also no end in sight in the coordinated attacks on sacred places of Christian worship in the past fourteen days under reference. As a matter of fact, and going by Intersociety’s recent statistical checks, the situation of Nigerian Christians and their sacred places of worship has remained dangerously unchecked especially since Nov 1, 2025 when the US Government hinted on possible military action against Nigeria’s digitally and physically assembled Islamic Jihadist groups (24 in number), should the Nigerian Government continue to fail to take concrete steps to end the egregious killing of Christians and destruction of their sacred places of worship.

“From Intersociety’s statistical records, the number of Islamic terror groups digitally and physically headed to Nigeria where they presently occupy various rainforest Locations-Christian dominated areas are numbering about 24 including the JNIM Islamic terror group as one of them.

“The JNIM is a deadly Islamic terror group operating in Mali and the Sahel region which recently announced the establishment of “its first brigade in Nigeria”. There are also scores of new Islamic terror groups heading or headed into Nigeria to swell the number of such terror groups troubling the country especially the defenseless Christian population and their sacred places of worship, living and livelihood. Among them are the “Fulani affiliated WULOWULO Islamic terror group” and rumored infiltration of another Fulani-affiliated Islamic terror group (“the Bororos”); in addition to “Lakaruwa Islamic terror group”; reportedly brought into Nigeria by the Fulani cattle herders’ proprietor body since 2018.

“Intersociety had in its Special Report of August 10, 2025, which had been updated since Oct 10, 2025, strongly warned that “Nigeria has digitally and physically become a safe haven for no fewer than 22 (now 24) Islamic terror groups from Black and Maghreb Africa, seeking to obliterate Christians and Christianity-affiliated others, their faiths and cultural identities/heritages by the Year 2075 or in the next 50 years from now; and if extreme care is not taken, children of children born with Christian names and into Christian homes in today’s Nigeria will no longer meet Christianity and bear Christian names and inherit their Trado-Judeo-Christian identities and cultural heritages”.

“We therefore expected to see the present Nigerian Government and its Presidency rising to the occasion by overhauling ministries of defense and interior and office of the NSA and thereafter issue firm and matching orders to security, defense and intelligence forces and their Service Chiefs especially the Armed Forces and their High Commands to go after the Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen and allied others and have them flushed out or obliterated; having severally been responsible for over 80% of the religious killings, abductions, disappearances and property destructions across Nigeria especially attacks against churches and dwelling houses belonging to Nigeria’s vulnerable Christian population.

“By fresh statistics at our disposal, nothing seems to have been done to practically and concretely remedy the situation till date.

“We had also expected the Tinubu Government of Nigeria to have ordered the country’s Fulani leaders which consistently maintains a sort of “the erstwhile Sudanese Government-Janjaweed cordial relationship” with the Nigerian Governments since midyear of 2015 per MACABAN and FUNAM, to stop all forms of attacks against Christian population and identify and expel all jihadist elements using “Fulani Herdsmen” and their cattle rearing as a cover to unleash untamed jihadist terror attacks on defenseless civilian population and their properties.

“The Tinubu’s Government of Nigeria was also expected to have announced total suspension of the ongoing “Fulani Ranching Settlements” across all indigenous Christian areas of the country which has heightened tensions and emboldened the Jihadists to continue and escalate their attacks unchecked and untracked.

“Disappointingly, the Nigerian Government has been busy allegedly wasting the country’s alleged massively borrowed public funds on global campaign allegedly rooted in serial denials, name callings and defense of the indefensible in attempts to divert the attention of the international religious freedom voices.

“This is despite the fact that these respected international freedom of religion voices have independently followed and documented violent attacks against Christians and destruction of churches in the past fifteen years or since 2010.

“From our conservative estimates, such alleged billions of naira from alleged borrowed public funds are more than enough to return, restore and rehabilitate over 1m Christian and moderate Muslim IDPs to their former positions and livelihoods.

“The estimated huge public funds allegedly being misused and misapplied are also capable of rebuilding houses belonging to such IDPs and provide adequate social facilities and amenities including paved roads, rehabilitated schools and hospitals as well as provision of adequate relief materials; likewise, facilitation of traumatic and post-traumatic stress disorder counseling and therapies, etc.

“Grand Findings: For the avoidance of doubt, our latest situation report has statistically indicated that the attacks by Jihadist Fulani Militants (“Fulani Herdsmen”) across the country including killings, abductions, disappearances and destructions targeted at church and other Christian properties have reached an alarming stage in the past two weeks of Oct 28 to Nov 11, 2025; to the extent that within the period, the Jihadist Fulani Militants accounted for no fewer than 102 Christian deaths in Taraba (34 Christian deaths), Plateau (22), Kaduna (16), Benue (15), Borno (4) and Edo State where a Seminarian (Emmanuel Alabi) was killed in Jihadists’ captivity).

“There are also addition of 10 Christian deaths representing ‘dark figures’ of crime such as no fewer than ten Christians likely to have been killed in Jihadists’ captivity from no fewer than 114 abducted and held; totaling 102 Christian deaths in fourteen days (28-10-2025 to 11-11-2025).

“The killing of about 102 Christians also represented daily average death of seven Christians. No fewer than 114 defenseless Christians were also found to have been abducted in the referenced fourteen days, representing daily average of eight abducted Christians. Statistics at our disposal further indicated that no fewer than 50 Christians were abducted in Kaduna, 30 in Taraba, 6 in Plateau, 6 in Benue and 12 in Kogi/Kwara Christian axis, in addition to ten ‘dark figures’ of crime, totaling 114 abducted Christians.

“It is our additional record that no fewer than six churches were attacked and sacked in Benue (two), Borno (one), Kaduna (one) and Taraba (two), during which four Christian clerics were killed including Kaduna (one), Benue (one), Edo (one) and Kwara (an ECWA pastor) as well as abduction of four Christian clerics including Kogi (two) and Kaduna (two).

“Complaints Over Complicity Of The Security Forces Mounting: Complaints of complicity leveled by victims and survivors of the Jihadist Fulani Militants’ ceaseless attacks on Christians, strongly leveled against security forces especially soldiers of the Nigerian Army and their officers have continued to mount day in day out in most of the affected areas across the country.

“From Eha-Amufu in Enugu State, Wukari in Taraba, Southern Kaduna in Kaduna State, several Christian communities in Benue and Plateau States; to several Christian areas of Nasarawa, Borno and Kogi States, the complicity complaints against the security forces have risen to an apogee; to the extent that security forces especially military personnel have vehemently refused to go after the Jihadist Fulani Militants before and after such attacks except joining victims of the attacks in picking corpses and turning around to crack down on victim-communities and their leaders, often accused of “being conspirators” and “attempting to carry out reprisal attackers”, resulting to clamping and hunting down and hounding them into brutality-infested detention; an turning blind eyes on the real perpetrator-Jihadists.

“335 Catholic Parishes Razed In Taraba In 10 Yrs., 300, 000 Persons And 201 Villages Displaced: According to Truth-Nigeria’s Special Report of Nov 11, 2025, the authorities of the Catholic Diocese of Wukari in Taraba State, North-East Nigeria have disclosed shockingly that no fewer than “335 Catholic churches have been destroyed or burned in the past ten years of 2015 to 2025 and more than 300,000 Catholic faithful and other Christians displaced and 201 Christian villages sacked”.

“Among the sacked Christian villages under the Wukari Catholic Diocese were named to include Tor Gbenger, Imbor, Chakera, Asuku, Mbaaga, Ikyor, Mbaya Utser, Genda and numerous others. The above was disclosed by Catholic Bishop of Wukari, Mark Maigida Nzukwein and Father George Dogo of the Holy Family Parish (attacked) in Takum during their separate interviews with Mike Odeh of Truth-Nigeria. The two respected and courageous Catholic clerics also disclosed that “there is a hidden genocide and a systematic campaign of terror by Jihadist Fulani Militants to uproot Christian communities in Southern Taraba in particular and Taraba State in general.”
