From Nigeria-A leading Anglican is warning Nigeria's Christians face escalating attacks by Islamist militants in the lead-up to next year's general election. Archbishop Ben Kwashi is calling on the Nigerian government to provide security for Christian farmers in the north, who are being killed and driven from their homes by heavily armed Fulani herdsmen.
The Archbishop has also criticised inaccurate reporting for paralysing the will to intervene to prevent the Fulani attacks.
The Anglican Archbishop of Jos, Benjamin Kwashi, is a partner of UK-based Release International, which supports persecuted Christians around the world. On a speaking tour with Release, the archbishop has called for the Nigerian government to intervene to protect Christians. The Archbishop has himself survived three assassination attempts.
