Father Fidelis, a Priest in Nigeria, makes his latest appeal follows the abduction of four young seminarians in the city of Kaduna, in north western Nigeria. It is the latest in a long line of Attacks and Murders of Christian believers there. An estimated 1,000 Nigerian Christians were murdered in 2019 alone for their faith. Some 6,000 of them have been killed since 2015.
In his video message Father Fidelis makes a heartfelt appeal: “I ask the government of Italy, the country where I studied, and all European governments to put pressure on our government to do something to Defend Us.” Although the government of Muhammadu Buhari says it has put a number of security measures into place to protect Christians in the area, it appears incapable of guaranteeing security and preventing continuous violence on the Christians.
