A faith-based group, the Christian Emergency Alliance (CEA), has released a report of Nigerian Christians being clamped into Nazi-style camps in the Northern parts of the country and subjected to torture, ransom and killings by their Islamic captors.
Its April 5, 2025 statement on X Twitter said:
“(Some) 25 of these hostages were released April 1st, after enduring three months of captivity at the hands of Fulani Islamists.
“They were held in the Rijana Forest at a camp in Chikun County, Kaduna State.
“Sadly, the victims were only released after sizable ransoms were paid.
“One batch of Christians were abducted last December, when Fulani militants stormed their village in Kauru Country, killing four and kidnapping 35 others – including a one-week-old baby and three young girls.
“These Christians were taken into Rijana, to what amounts to a modern-day concentration camp.
“Hundreds of Nigerian Christians are held captive right now under brutal conditions in a network of concentration camps along the Kaduna River.
“Christian prisoners are periodically executed by the Islamists, while others die from starvation and disease.
“Those not killed are subject to being beaten with batons and whips.
“The Rijana concentration camps are controlled by a man nicknamed ‘Yellow One Million.’
“This evil must end and those responsible brought to justice.
“Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ caught in this nightmare.
“‘Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.’ Hebrews 13:3.”
