Islam-Inspired Terror Killings in Nigeria in the 4th Quarter, 2024

 Below is the quarterly sad toll of lives wasted by Islam-inspired terrorists in Nigeria.  As usual, we have extracted the figures from the global figures collated by the Islam Religion of Peace website (https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/)

In 57 attacks, 333 people were killed, while 206 others were wounded and/or maimed.

.We remind us that though all these atrocities were carried out by people claiming inspiration from Islam, the victims cut across all religions, including Islam itself.  The Religion of Peace website acknowledges that not all the attacks were captured.

 The figures for the 4th quarter of 2024 are compared below with the figures from earlier in the year:

 1st quarter (Jan 1 – March 31): 81 attacks, 471 people killed,  242 wounded or maimed 

2nd quarter (April 1 – June 30): 61 attacks, 522 people killed, 540 wounded or maimed

3rd quarter (July 1 - Sept 30): 41 attacks 403 people killed, 151 wounded or maimed.

4th quarter (Oct 1 – Dec 31): 57 attacks, 333 people killed, 206 wounded or maimed

There has been more visible resolve from the security forces to prevent these attacks, and we thank God for the successes.  Christians must continue to keep this issue on the front burner of national discourse so we can maintain the momentum.

Happy new year ahead in Jesus name.
