| KILLING OF CHRISTIANS AND RISE OF STATE JIHADISM IN NIGERIA- Before Reprisal Radicalism Explodes & Turns Nigeria Into Widespread Bloodshed |
(Onitsha Nigeria, 24th of July 2016)-Borrowing from the investigative and statistical findings of Open Doors and its Chief Executive Officer, Lisa Pearce, Christians are facing State coordinated and State-abetted persecution in Nigeria. The persecution of Christians, according to the respected international anti Christian persecution watchdog, is carried out by three groups: Islamist Boko Haram terror group, Muslim Fulani herdsmen and the Muslim religious fanatics oiled by political elite as well as top politico-security appointees. In other words, while Christian killings are perpetrated by the trio of terrorist Fulani Janjaweed and Boko Haram groups and government security agents; the present Federal Government under Gen Muhammadu Buhari is deepening and consolidating its pursuit of radical and annihilative policy of State Jihadism; thereby encouraging reprisal radicalization and undermining the unity, Constitution and secularity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
