Nigeria: New Islamic Terror Group Begins Killing Christians
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – A new Islamic terror group that is considered even more dangerous than Boko Haram, ISWAP and the radicalized Fulani militants has begun murdering Christians in northern Nigeria, International Christian Concern (ICC) reports. Islamic terror groups intent on imposing their extreme version of Sharia law and governance have murdered tens of thousands of Christians in northern Nigeria since jihadism took hold in the region in 2009.
Known as Lakurawa, the newly emerging group also aims to establish an Islamic caliphate and also considers Christians to be infidels who must be dealt with violently, ICC reports.
Most recently, Lakurawa terrorists invaded a construction site in Gumki village, Arewa County, Kebbi state, and murdered three Christians at their place of employment installing a surveillance mast for the Nigeria Immigration Service.
“Lakurawa, a sophisticated terror network with transnational ties, draws fighters from Mali, Libya, Niger, and Burkina Faso. Their goal is to establish an Islamic caliphate stretching from the Sahel to Ghana’s coast. This mission poses a significant threat to regional stability and the survival of Christian communities,” ICC said in its report.
In a newly published 2025 website statement about the situation facing Christians in northern Nigeria, the Open Doors international Christian advocacy organization reports: In 2023, Bola Tinubu was elected as the new president of Nigeria. Although both he and his predecessor are Muslim, the new president has carried out a major reshuffle. This has provided a better representative balance of the two faiths in leadership positions than under President Buhari. It was hoped this would lead to acknowledging the human rights violations against Christians, and to more effective intervention by security forces to protect Christians. However, this did not happen to a tangible extent during the World Watch List 2025 reporting period.”
