Christian leaders in Nigeria have renewed claims that Christians face systematic violence, following the abduction of dozens of worshippers during an attack on an Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) congregation in Kogi state. Speaking to journalists in Jos, Plateau state, ECWA General Secretary Rev. Ayuba Asheshe stated that the church considers ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria to amount to genocide. He said ECWA’s position is based on years of documented attacks, killings, abductions, and displacement of Christian communities across several regions of the country.
