🇳🇬 Nigerian Catholic Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe: “The total elimination of the Christian population is underway. A genocide at the hands of jihadists.” Anagbe says Benue State, where his diocese is located and where he says 98% of the population is Christian, has become one of Nigeria’s most dangerous areas. He says that attackers kill civilians, destroy churches, burn farmland and drive entire communities from their villages before occupying the abandoned territory, describing it as a “calculated strategy of Islamization.” He highlighted the Yelewata massacre, where around 200 people were killed, saying attackers set fire to a room containing civilians and “burned everyone alive, including two babies aged three and five months.” A 2024 European Parliament resolution cited estimates that 52,000 Christians had been killed in Nigeria since 2009 and that 18,000 churches and 2,200 Christian schools had been destroyed. https://x.com/JimThom90458694/status/2097124605475623062
