A Nigerian Bishop’s First-Hand Account of Ongoing Christian Persecution
About this episode
Nigerian Bishop Juwan Zumba discusses the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria and the rise of Islamist violence.
Nigerian Bishop on Christian Persecution, Kidnappings, and the Spread of Islamist Violence Host Larry Alex Sta welcomes Lawrence Fox and Nigerian Anglican Bishop Juwan Zumba of Kuru to discuss alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria and Islam’s growing influence in Britain. Zumba recounts how Christians and Muslims once lived peacefully in Nigeria but says rising fundamentalism has led to Fulani militia attacks, land seizures, and church communities being wiped out, including a night raid that killed 43 in his diocese and later attacks killing 33 on Palm Sunday and about 200 near Christmas 2023. He describes weekly truckloads of Muslim youths moved south, and says kidnappings target Christians, including a failed attempt to kidnap him on Nov. 2, 2024, followed by his neighbor’s abduction for ransom. The group responds to a Tucker Carlson clip dismissing targeted Christian persecution as propaganda.
