The persecution of Christians, January 2024: “Killed civilians, raped girls & looted homes” – Report

The number of crimes every month is huge and almost every month is worse than the one before

Newsroom February 28 12:51

The following are among the abuses and murders inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of January 2024.

Nigeria: A few January headlines from the ongoing jihadist-genocide of Christians in the African nation follow:

  • Jan. 8: “Terrorists Slaughter 41 Christians in Kaduna State, Nigeria”
  • Jan. 24: “At Least 31 Christians Slaughtered in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 11: “Islamic Extremists Kill 15 Christians in Northeast Nigeria”
  • Jan. 5: “Boko Haram Terrorists Attack Yobe Community, Kill Pastor, 13 Others; Burn Church, Houses, Cars”
  • Jan. 16: “Terrorists Kill 10 Christians in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 25: “Terrorists Kill Five Christians in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 18: “Pastor, Three Other Christians Kidnapped in Central Nigeria”
  • Jan. 9: “Christians Remain Captive in Nigeria Despite Ransom Payment”

Turkey: On Sunday, Jan. 28, two masked gunmen entered the Church of Santa Maria in Constantinople and opened fire — turning an otherwise peaceful Catholic mass into a scene of horror. One man was killed and another wounded. Surveillance footage showed the rest of the 40 or so congregants fleeing in a panic. The two killers, citizens of Tajikistan and Russia — both Muslims — were tracked down and arrested.
