I watched the Piers Morgan interview and the minister gave suspect data on the killings of Christians in the last 5 years, he claimed over 170 Christians killed, I ask the minister to tell us where he got his data from.
Minister let me debunk your data quickly
•International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety): This Nigerian-based human rights group reported that as many as 7,000 Christians were killed in the first 220 days of 2025 alone. A report in April 2023 estimated that over 52,250 Christians had been murdered in the previous fourteen years, indicating a continuous and high rate of killings.
•Open Doors International: For their latest reporting period for the 2025 World Watch List, which tracks persecution, 3,100 of the 4,476 Christians killed worldwide (69%) were in Nigeria. In 2024, Open Doors reported that Nigeria was the country with the most Christians killed and kidnapped.
•Aid to the Church in Need (ACN): ACN's reports show high numbers, including more than 7,600 Nigerian Christians murdered between January 2021 and June 2022.
•Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED): ACLED data, which tracks overall political violence, provides a different perspective. From 2020 to September 2025, ACLED reported around 21,000 civilian deaths from political violence of all kinds (Christian and Muslim) and identified 384 incidents specifically targeting Christians, in which 317 people died. ACLED analysts note that many clashes are often related to ethnic tensions and resource competition (like farmer-herder conflicts) rather than purely religious motivations, which makes precise religious attribution difficult.
Assuming we even want to count killings based on events
•Christmas 2023 Attacks: Around Christmas Eve, at least 300 Christians were killed in a series of attacks in Plateau State.
•Benue Massacres (2025): Multiple high-casualty events occurred in Benue State, including a June 2025 attack in Guma County that killed over 200 villagers and other attacks around Easter and May.
•Owo Church Attack (June 2022): As many as 40 worshippers were killed at St. Francis Catholic Church in Ondo state, a rare high-profile attack in the typically safer south-west regio
The Christmas Eve killings alone is about 300 and this outweighs your number of over 170 Christians killed in the last 5 years
Let’s us see what reported cases that arrived at those numbers in 5 years
“Now Disgraced Nation”
A few weeks ago, when President Trump described our country as “now disgraced,” many were outraged. Yet, how can we dispute it when, within a single week, 25 people were kidnapped, and one of our generals along with other officers was killed? Today, we witness another troubling terror attack in Kwara State. Rather than uniting in this critical moment, we are consumed by internal wrangling, party squabbles, and distractions.
Look closely at what is happening in the PDP, the Labour Party, SDP, and other political formations—crises deliberately orchestrated by a government that should be embracing everyone so we can unite in this troubling period.
I am reminded of a pivotal moment under President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. During an internal crisis in my then-political party, he instructed the INEC Chairman, Professor Maurice Iwu, that the stability of every political party—not just the ruling party—was essential for democracy. No party was to be undermined; all were to function within the law.
What we witness today is the opposite. The current government seems more intent on weakening parties than strengthening our democracy—seeking to fragment the PDP, Labour Party, SDP, and others.
In democratic nations, opposition is respected, elections reflect the will of the people, and governance involves carrying everyone along for peace and prosperity.

You are a liar.
You lied when you said @piersmorgan spoke about the "Chibok Boys" (that never happened).
You lied about the number of Christian deaths in Nigeria.
Every word out of your mouth is a lie.
Shame on you.
As they say in Nigeria, I showed you the pepper. 🌶️
