Archbishop of Canterbury offers to help end violence in Nigeria

From Nigeria-

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby on Tuesday repeated his offer to contribute towards any peace negotiations as violence continues to erupt in some parts of Nigeria.

Archbishop Justin tweeted in January: “I am deeply saddened by the killings and displacements in #Nigeria. President @MBuhari and authorities are exhorted to act now to end this violence and begin mediated dialogue. I mourn with this great country and stand with them in prayer, #prayforthepeaceofNigeria.”


However, the attacks have continued and spread rather than abate.

A question was put to the British government in the House of Lords – the upper house of the UK Parliament – on Monday on the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria.
