Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) says it has received “disturbing reports” of delayed or withheld security responses on attacks in several predominantly Christian communities.
In a statement on Tuesday November 25, the clerics condemned the security situation in the country and addressed the allegations of a Christian “genocide” – a label the federal government has repeatedly rejected.
The bishops said the label stemmed from a “prolonged” attack on members of the faith.
“It is a matter of grave concern that several predominantly Christian communities, particularly in the Northern and Middle belt regions of the country have come under repeated attacks, resulting in heavy casualties and the tragic loss of many Christian lives”, the statement reads.
