Persecution in Nigeria has gone for the worse.

The Christian Post reported yesterday that 50 people were burned alive in their pastor’s home while they were seeking refuge from terrorist attacks by the radical Muslim group, Boko Haram.

Since last week, Boko Haram has unleashed a series of attacks that has swept across 16 villages, killing 100 people. These terrorists have issued a demand for the Christians of Nigeria to convert to Islam or “they will never know peace again.”

More than 5,500 people have fled their homes as the outcome of these attacks.

On the start of the New Year, Boko Haram threaten the Nigerian Church to leave the nation in three days or face open oppression. Since this threat, Nigerian Christians have suffered widespread anti-Christian attacks that has claimed nearly 600 people dead (according to the Associated Press).
