Christians Beaten, Abducted in Nigeria as Church Service Attacked, Prayer Books Desecrated, and Worship Instruments Broken

Christians are still facing persecution in Nigeria, as 160 people are unaccounted for after an attack Sunday on a branch of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church and two other churches in the village of Kurmin Wali.

The BBC reported on one woman who managed to escape who was bludgeoned in the skull with the butt of an attacker’s gun. “Blood was all over,” the woman recalled.

“They kept dragging me even when I told them I couldn’t walk. Then I hid somewhere until I couldn’t see them anymore.
