* Since 2011, Islamic violence against Nigerian Christians has escalated.
* "Our reporters have documented that mass kidnappings of women in Kaduna state in 2023 were in fact aimed at capturing scores of women in Southern Kaduna and selling them as sex slaves in the Fulani bandit community." — Douglas Burton, managing editor of "Truth Nigeria," interview with Gatestone Institute, October 2025.
* "The chief reason there is so little media attention is that the Nigerian media themselves have deliberately failed to give a clear picture of who is doing the violence and why.... Most media appear to be controlled by cash payments from government spokesmen or others offering 'courtesy gifts.' When the army holds a presser, every reporter who shows up gets a cash envelope, the more influential his paper, the bigger the reward -- still the practice in many countries, I believe. TV reporters get better incentives, and TV executives are said to receive parcels of real estate in Kaduna State. TruthNigeria reporters tell me that in previous years they used to take those 'courtesy gifts,' too. Our reporters find it very hard to get Nigerian public affairs officers to answer their calls...." — Douglas Burton, October 2025.
* U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025.
* "Nigerian Christians are being targeted and executed for their faith by Islamist terrorist groups, and are being forced to submit to sharia law and blasphemy laws across Nigeria. It is long past time to impose real costs on the Nigerian officials who facilitate these activities, and my Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act uses new and existing tools to do exactly that. I urge my colleagues to advance this critical legislation expeditiously." — Senator Ted Cruz, September 11, 2025.
* Many in the U.S. are urgently expecting the Senate to follow Cruz's lead.

Other than the massacres, there are also thousands of church burnings, abductions and forced conversions of Christian children and women to Islam.

As the genocide against Christians in Nigeria crashes on, a news outlet, TruthNigeria.com, continues to courageously shed light on the atrocities committed by jihadists against Nigerians of all religions.
"Truth Nigeria," according to its website, "had to be launched to slice through the fog of war and the cloud of false narrative that bedevils mainstream media reporting of what many call a 'Christian genocide' in Nigeria that has been spreading like a cancer."
Award-winning journalist Douglas Burton, a former U.S. State Department official who says, "I serve as managing editor for about 12 freelancers who risk their lives to lift the veil on the world's most shameful and still barely reported Christian genocide," was interviewed by Gatestone:
