Bishop: Islamization in Nigeria is “Genocide”

 Nigerian Bishop: "It Is Genocide"

Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe of Makurdi, Nigeria, has described the ongoing deadly attacks against Christians in Nigeria as amounting to genocide (AciAfrica.org, 5 June).

Since 2018, he had to close 17 parishes due to attacks: "This means entire communities have been displaced and taken over."

"No nation watches its citizens being slaughtered like animals and says there is nothing to be done. It’s genocide."

He described the killings as part of a systematic campaign of territorial conquest and religious persecution targeting Christian communities in Nigeria’s Benue State.

Recent attacks include the massacre of over 20 people on 25 May and the deadly assault on 1 June that resulted in at least 13 deaths.
