Following the kidnapping of two priests another Nigerian prelate says country is at ‘breaking point’

YAOUNDÉ, Cameroon – Following the kidnapping of two Catholic priests in Nigeria at the start of February, another leading prelate has said the increasingly dangerous climate, especially for Christians, in Africa’s most populous nation, is putting the country’s security apparatus “to shame”.

“Increased insecurity continues to haunt our nation,” said Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, the national capital. “Boko Haram insurgents, herdsmen militia, bandits, kidnappers and the so-called ‘unknown gunmen’ continue to unleash terror in different parts of the country.”
