Boko Haram attacks against the Christian community and the nation in general have become difficult for the security agencies to tackle. As a result, hundreds of unarmed Christians have been murdered and continue to be murdered.

President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, while receiving delegates of the Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Christians Association of Nigeria recently, said “Boko Haram is a disgrace to Africa as a whole and their activities have affected everybody. My prayer is that very soon, the sponsors of Boko Haram and anyone who supports them would be brought to book so that the law would take its course and they too would face the judgement of not God alone, but also of men”.

However, Christians have continued to die. Only recently, Boko Haram Islamists burnt churches and massacred more than forty people, including students at a Christian seminary in Adamawa State. Also, a pastor, his pregnant wife and children were reportedly murdered in Borno State. Recent statistics from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) revealed that three million people were displaced by insurgency in the North-East between January and March alone.
