World Record: Nigeria Now the World’s Deadliest Country for Christians
A report recently released reveals that Nigeria is now the World’s Deadliest Country for Christians: 3,490 Killed in One Year While Authorities Ignore Systematic Violence.
Nigeria has become the deadliest place on Earth for Christians, with 72% of global faith-related killings occurring there while authorities largely turn a blind eye.
The claims are according to the data from Open Doors’ World Watch List 2026 which shows that of the 4,849 Christians killed worldwide for their faith between October 2024 and September 2025, 3,490 deaths occurred in Nigeria, up from 3,100 the previous year.
