IN THE NAME OF GOD, IT IS TIME TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Religious persecution in Nigeria is a reality that is getting worse every day. Our brothers and sisters suffer attacks, fear, and abandonment. We cannot remain indifferent! They need to know that they are not alone… Will you respond to their cry today?
A wounded Church… but alive
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, is facing an unprecedented wave of violence.
Despite the pain, the Church does not abandon its mission: to accompany, heal, and proclaim the Gospel.
Three faces of the same country
🟥North: Terrorism and open persecution. Churches destroyed.
🟨Middle belt: Conflicts between herders and farmers. Entire villages displaced.
🟩South: Priests kidnapped. Extreme poverty and communities in need of rebuilding their hope.

Priests kidnapped or murdered in Nigeria in 2022:
28 Kidnapped priests
4 Murdered priests
Photo: Father Félix, who was kidnapped by unknown assailants on March 24, 2022. During his captivity, he was subjected to daily mistreatment, and was even shot in the left foot. Despite receiving no medical treatment, Fr. Felix managed to survive until his release on May 3, 2022, after a ransom was paid. He was promptly transported to a Catholic hospital in Wusasa, Zaria, where he underwent treatment for the next three months.
Deborah Samuel murdered for a text message
Deborah Samuel Yakubu was a student at the Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, northern Nigeria. In May of 2022, she was accused of having sent a blasphemous WhatsApp message about Mohammed (a central figure for the Islam) during Ramadan (fasting and prayer period for Muslims), while the college was closed for holidays. When she returned to class, a group of students was waiting and attacked her.They threw stones at her and then set fire to her body. After two people were arrested for her murder, groups of rioters attacked Christian sites in different places in the state capital.
