Abstract

An African country, Nigeria is a land of Christian assassination happening in the last few decades with the silent help of government. Last 2020 to till now, the highest number of deaths were happening and the big lamentation of Nigerians were not seen the modern world or the world leaders yet.

Nigerians are paying the price of faith and they were increasing by 60%. Most of the Christians are tortured also their confiscated and churches were burned every moment in African continent. Many of the Nigerian’s either fleeing or facing massacre happening now. There are 400 million Christians being persecuted around the world. The lives of the Christians are difficult around the world because of their faith. African countries with the most Christian deaths, major seven countries are in the African continent. Many reasons were behind in the invasion of Christians in worldwide even though world leaders are keeping silent against the massive massacre of Christians. People are lost their lives due to their faith in Christ. We come to know that isis killed 20 innocent people who lives in Egypt few years ago, because of the faith the 20 innocent people who lost their lives but they kept Christ strongly and believed in Christ.

This massacre focuses the invasion of Christianity among African continent but unfortunately the islamic doctrines does not have valid sources of keep their believers. An avalanche of youths becomes an atheist from islam worldwide. Islamic legal position on conversion from Islam and the death penalty associated with it. To change of religion by itself should lead to any punishment, let alone the death penalty so islam is called as the ‘religion of peace’. The islamic scholars does not understand either the meaning of peace yet or they could not derive according to their religious book.

A rash of killings across Africa has renewed focus on the risks facing those working to expose wrongdoing. The killings of journalists in Cameroon and a respected human rights defender in Eswatini, along with the suspicious death of a well known editor in Rwanda have raised questions about whether justice will be done. The cases also underscored the dangers of impunity with such incidents sending an unsettling message to government critics and the free press. There can be no doubt that when journalists are killed with impunity there is a chilling effect. It’s trite, but murder is the ultimate form of censorship, Angela Quintal, head of the Africa program at the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The lack of consequences for those who kill or harm journalists obviously also emboldens others who believe they too can get away with it or allows those who threaten journalists to continue to do so, she said. In the case of Cameroonian journalist was forced into a car, having in vain sought help from a police station during the kidnapping. He was heard shouting as Help, help, they want to kill, according to reports. His body was found a few days later, naked and badly mutilated. The media watchdog reporters without borders said that journalists fingers were cut off, his arms and legs were broken in several places, and a steel rod was rammed into his anus. Two weeks later, Ola Bebe, a radio host and priest, was found dead close to his home in the capital. The killings prompted a U.N. Human Rights spokesperson to call on authorities to take all necessary measures to create an enabling environment for journalists to work without fear of reprisal.
