Religious persecution is rampant in Nigeria, where militant groups such as Boko Haram carry out abductions that appear to target Christians, including priests. Sometimes clergy aren’t just kidnapped. They’re also killed.
Brother George Agwu Liwhuliwhe, a Nigerian who is studying for the priesthood in the U.S., emphasized the “really sad situation.” The Josephite seminarian spoke with EWTN News In Depth in a segment that aired July 9.
He implored U.S. Catholics to focus on the plight of Nigeria and to “be aware of what is happening over there.”
