The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has raised alarm over what it describes as a long-term plot to impose a Sultanate system in Nigeria by 2075, warning that the plan could lead to the obliteration of Christianity and indigenous cultural heritage across the country.
In a new fact-heavy special report, Intersociety Chairman, Emeka Umeagbalasi, claimed that Nigeria currently serves as the headquarters of 22 Islamic terror groups operating in Africa — groups allegedly backed by global jihad funding and using the country as a safe haven.
According to the group, these terror networks are working towards wiping out an estimated 112 million Christians and 13 million traditional religion adherents in Nigeria within the next 50 years, with a special focus on the South-East and South-South regions.
“The groups have so far massacred 7,087 Christians and abducted 7,800 others in just 220 days of 2025, mostly from the South-East and South-South. Thousands of liberal Muslims have also been killed or incarcerated, especially in core Northern states,” Umeagbalasi alleged.
He added that since 2009, 185,009 Nigerians have been killed — including 125,009 Christians and 60,000 liberal Muslims — while 19,100 churches were destroyed, more than 1,100 Christian communities sacked, and 20,000 square miles of land seized. Over 600 Christian clerics have been abducted, including 250 Catholic priests and 350 pastors, with dozens killed.
The report further claimed that between 12 and 14 million Christians have been displaced within Nigeria, with millions more fleeing abroad. The group accuses the terror organisations of pursuing a “violent and genocidal campaign” to erase indigenous ethnic identities, including the Igbo cultural heritage, which it says dates back over 3,400 years.
Intersociety urged the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and Canada to impose travel bans on top Fulani Muslim leaders, senior Islamic clerics, and members of cattle breeders’ associations, while also reviewing hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian, military, and development aid to Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the US government has condemned the recent wave of brutal attacks on Christians in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa, describing the violence as “horrific” and pledging to work with international partners to address the crisis.
