Nigeria’s Deepening Insecurity: A Decade of Killings and the Rising Threat to Christian Communities in Edo State
Abstract
Nigeria’s security crisis did not emerge overnight; it has been building for more than a decade. Since 2011, the nation has witnessed a wide spectrum of violence—attacks on worship centres, killings of farmers, kidnappings on highways, herder-related clashes, and mass assaults on Christian communities across several states. Many of these attacks were not isolated incidents, but part of a growing pattern of coordinated brutality that communities have repeatedly described as genocidal in effect.
