The Christian Genocide in Nigeria

It has been widely reported that over the years, a large number of Christians are being persecuted in the African nation of Nigeria, a country that has an equal number of Christian and Muslim populations.

Under the leadership of Muhammadu Buhari, the Preseindt of Nigeria, atrocities against Christians are on the rise at an unprecedented scale.  Islamic groups like Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen have committed heinous crimes against Christians. The government seems less caring about the sad plight of the Christian in the country. Christians are slaughtered, women are raped, and taken as sex slaves, Christian houses are destroyed and Churches are burned down.
