The archbishop of one of the world’s most dangerous dioceses has described how he has to have five guard dogs to protect him at home, and travels around with an armed escort.
Archbishop Matthew Ndagoso of Kaduna in northern Nigeria gave Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) a glimpse into life in his diocese in northern Nigeria.
He said that eight of his priests had been kidnapped in just three years – three were killed, one is still missing and the others were freed.
He added that one of the murdered priests in particular had shown tremendous courage.
