Rev. Choji, his wife, and their two children were reportedly killed in the early hours of Monday, 27 April 2026. He was an ECWA pastor serving at ECWA Bukuru DCC Plateau State Nigeria.
The family was stationed in Gako village, Riyom LCC, where unknown attackers surrounded their home and carried out this brutal act.
This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. We are in deep pain and anger over what is happening in our land.
We call on the government to urgently rise and protect lives and communities across Nigeria. Enough is enough. Our people deserve safety and peace.
We demand a full investigation and justice for this innocent family.
May God comfort the community and grant eternal rest to the souls of the departed.

Bayero University Kano (BUK)

Kaduna State University, (KASU)

Sule Lamido University, Jigawa

Umaru Musa Yar'Adua University, Katsina.

Federal University Dutsin-Ma, Katsina

Kano State University of Science and Technology, Wudil.

These are just the few I'm aware of.

There are still many of them.

Note that in the South, Almost all universities have both mosques and Churches to accommodate all students but the reverse is the case in the North.

Every day in Nigeria, Christians wake up not knowing if they will return home alive. In many parts of the country, especially in rural communities, innocent believers are hunted, attacked, and killed simply because of their faith in Jesus Christ.
Churches are burned, pastors are murdered, families are wiped out in the middle of the night, and entire villages are displaced. In states like Plateau State, Benue State, Kaduna State, and parts of the North East, Christians live in constant fear. Children are orphaned, women are widowed, and survivors are left with deep trauma and unanswered questions.
Extremist groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province have openly targeted Christians, while other violent attacks often go unpunished. Many victims feel abandoned, as justice is rarely served and perpetrators walk free.
Yet, in the midst of persecution, Nigerian Christians continue to pray, worship, and hold on to their faith. They refuse to deny Christ, even when it costs them their lives. Their blood cries out for justice. Their suffering calls for global attention. Their courage is a testimony to faith under fire.
Christians are not just statistics. They are fathers, mothers, children, and pastors whose only “crime” is believing in Christ. The world must not remain silent while believers are being killed every day in Nigeria.
