According to a European Center for Law and Justice report, more than 7,000 Christians were murdered in Nigeria in the first 220 days of 2025.

• The ECLJ itself attributes the figure to Intersociety (International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law), an advocacy group; the underlying casualty count is an estimate that is not independently verifiable through official Nigerian or international statistics.
• The additional figure in the original Polish text — 1,400 Christians killed between January and April 2025 — could not be independently verified within the search limit; it is not part of the normalized claim.
• The first 220 days of 2025 run to approximately 8 August 2025, so the report was published after that date and was known to the MEP before the 2026-07-08 session.
