As reported by CNN, in 2025, there were several mass killings based on religious grounds in Nigeria. In particular, in April, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu reported the deaths of at least 40 people as a result of an attack by militants on a Christian settlement in the northern part of the country. In June, according to human rights organizations, more than 100 people became victims of violence in the village of Yelwa, which is predominantly inhabited by Christians.
