Bishops Urge Nigerian President to Resign for Failing to Protect Christians from Terrorism

Catholic Bishops this week called on Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to resign for failing to protect Christians from the deadly Muslim terrorist menace at the hands of the Fulani herdsmen gripping the African country.
.
The comments from the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria came days after the April 24 attack by suspected militant Fulani herdsmen that killed the 19 Christians, including two priests, during morning mass at the Catholic Church in the Ukpor-Mbalom community of the Gwer East Local Government Area in Nigeria’s Benue State.
.
Amid the ongoing carnage at the hands of the herdsmen, Christians have accused President Buhari, who shares ethnicity with the semi-nomadic Fulani group, of leniency towards the terrorists, Africa News reports. . . .
.
. . . The Bishops declared:

Since the President who appointed the Heads of the nation’s Security Agencies has refused to call them to order, even in the face of the chaos and barbarity into which our country has been plunged, we are left with no choice but to conclude that they are acting a script that he approves of…He should no longer continue to preside over the killing fields and mass graveyard that our country has become.

The article went on . . .

The bishops went on to note that the Muslim Fulani terrorists threaten “the foundation of our collective existence.” . . .
.
. . . The Global Terrorism Index (GTI), repeatedly cited by the U.S. State Department, revealed last year that Fulani militant herdsmen carried out more attacks and were responsible for more fatalities in Nigeria in 2016 than the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL)-linked Boko Haram.
.
In 2016, the index noted that Fulani terrorists had killed 60,000 people since 2001. . . .

I thank you for bringing that to our attention. I am ashamed that I was somewhat ignorant as to what was going on in Nigeria and the fact that it had been going on for many years… I will remember all of those who were murdered on April 24,2018.I will put this under prayer intentions. God bless you.
