Wicked And Heartless!” – Bishop Abioye Slams Nigerians Who Deny Christian Killings

Popular Nigerian cleric, Bishop David Abioye, has strongly criticized Nigerians and certain government officials who dismissed reports of a Christian genocide in the country.

His remarks came after U.S. Senator Ted Cruz recently alleged that Christians in Nigeria are facing ongoing genocide. However, some Nigerian government officials refuted the claim, insisting that the nation’s security challenges are not religiously motivated.

Speaking during a recent church service, Bishop Abioye condemned those denying the situation, describing them as a “wicked set of people.”

He expressed disbelief that despite numerous reports and evidence of mass killings, some still reject the existence of targeted attacks against Christians.

According to him:

“There is a lot of distortion going on. People are claiming there is no genocide against Christians in this nation. But facts cannot be denied. You see people buried in hundreds, yet some insist there is no genocide—what a wicked set of people!”

He continued:

“Yes, there are killings in other regions for different reasons, but this one is very clear. It is gradually spreading to the South—Southwest and Southeast—and many so-called leaders, for their selfish interests, keep denying it. They are selling out their faith, if they have any at all.”
