Last month, Fr Charles Onomhoale Igechi was murdered in Benin, less than a year after his ordination, the latest in a succession of Nigerian Catholics who have been killed by Islamist radicals for their faith: 39 priests were killed in the country last year and a further 30 were abducted. Nigeria is, according to Aid to the Church in Need, the most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian. The same month marked the anniversary of the terrible Pentecost massacre of 41 people and the injuring of a further 80 during Mass in St Francis Xavier’s Church in Owe, south-west Nigeria. The massacre had all the hallmarks of Islamic State West Africa Province, which targets Christians. So far none of the attackers has been brought to justice and the trail has gone cold.
