BISHOPS CONDEMN CONTINUED KILLING OF NIGERIANS IN NORTH-EAST

From Nigeria-

Some Catholic and Anglican Bishops, after celebrating the 50th anniversary thanksgiving of Archbishop Vinning Memorial Church Cathedral, on Saturday, barred their minds on the current security situation in the country.

Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, said the present crisis in the North-East is affecting all Nigerians both at home and abroad. According to him, “I have just returned from Europe. Anywhere I went, Nigerians in Europe were asking me the same question: why is Boko Haram killing innocent children?

The only thing I will advise Jonathan on is to go after those stealing Nigeria’s money. This money can be used to alleviate the sufferings of the poor and the violent attacks in the North. I will also advise Nigerians to be security conscious because in all Catholic Churches in Abuja Archdiocese, the faithful watches everybody’s back in order to prevent any attack.”
