Christianity in Niger State
Christianity is the second largest religion in Niger State, Nigeria, after Islam.[1]
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Minna[2] and of Kontagora (inaugurated 1995) have their seats in the state. Anglican dioceses in Niger State are Bida, Doko, Kontagora, Kutigi and Minna (which was inaugurated in 1990).[3]
Nine churches in Kontagora were set on fire in 2006.[4] Churches were also burned in the state capital Minna and in Gwada in 2009.[5] A bomb attack allegedly by Boko Haram killed three persons in All Christian-Fellowship Mission in Suleja on July 10, 2011.[6]
