"According to a chilling new study released by a Nigerian nonprofit, nearly 3,500 Christians have been killed in Nigeria by Islamists and their sympathizers since the beginning of 2021.

The International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law (Intersociety) describes itself as an “independent and not-for-profit human rights, democracy, rule of law and security and safety advocacy group advocating for and defending the rights of the people within and beyond the shores of Nigeria.”

This organization states that it tracks and studies religious persecution “through the use of direct contacts with the victims, eyewitnesses, media tracking, review of credible local and international reports, interviews and closed sources.”

According to this report, in the first 200 days of 2021, or between January 1 and July 18, 3,462 Christians were killed by “Nigeria’s Islamic Jihadists and their collaborators in the security forces.”  This number amounts to 17 Christians killed per day.

Intersociety also notes that these Christians were “defenseless” and were “hacked to death.”
