Published | Video Starts at 02:47

Since Boko Haram's insurgency began in 2009, between 50,000 and 100,000 Christians have been murdered. 7,000 Christians have been martyred this year alone. That's an average of 35 Christians murdered for their faith every day. Every day, at least 250 priests have been attacked or killed in the last decade. 54 Christians were murdered on Palm Sunday and a priest was kidnapped and murdered on Ash Wednesday. This is genocide. There is no other way to describe it. (02:47–02:55)
