NIGERIA — Hundreds Abducted by Islamists

Islamic terrorist groups regularly target Christian children for abduction in Nigeria.

In early March 2024, Islamic militants raided several boarding schools in northern Nigeria and abducted more than 300 people.

“I spoke to a pastor who personally knows an elderly Christian woman who was among those abducted,” a front-line worker shared. “Her son was shot in the arm when trying to protect her and is currently hospitalized.” Officials do not know if the attackers were members of Boko Haram or ISWAP, two Islamist groups active in the area. The attackers demanded ransom to return those who were abducted. Amid the risk, the front-line worker reported that pastors and evangelists in the region are committed to serve. “These realities are not new to them,” he said. “They have already counted the cost of serving Christ in such areas and remain faithful to their calling.”
