The recent news reports about Christian persecution coming out of Nigeria are Horrifying. A day after Christmas, extremists who identified themselves as part of ISIS murdered 11 Christians in Nigeria. A few weeks into the new year, on Jan. 19, the Islamic State of West Africa released a video of a child — who looked to be around 10 years old — Executing a Christian man in Borno, Nigeria. A few days later, on Jan. 22, a Nigerian pastor, the Rev. Lawan Andimi, was beheaded by Boko Haram’s militants. Andimi had made international news for turning a hostage video into a testimonial about his faith in Jesus. “By the grace of God, I will be together with my wife, my children, and my colleagues,” Andimi said. His Murder triggered Protests in 28 of Nigeria’s 36 states, drawing an estimated Five Million People to denounce violence against Christians. While the world has been consumed by news about Iran, China and conflicts in other regions, Nigeria’s militant and extremist groups have waged a campaign of death and devastation against Christians. None of the Atrocities on the Christians Never makes the News. MSM in the UK has a Blackout on the subject.
