Nigeria ranked first in a list of nations where “Christians [are] confirmed to have been killed for faith-related reasons;” according to the Christian advocacy group Open Doors, 2,484 Christians were targeted and killed in the country in 2014. Nigeria has taken delivery of two Mi-24 “Super Hinds” purchased from a South African company. This purchase follows US refusal to supply the military with attack helicopters requested for counterterrorism operations.
