Many People Have Been Killed & Displaced by Extremists in Nigeria | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A Catholic priest in Nigeria was recently freed after being kidnapped for 3 days. It was the latest in a long series of attacks in Nigeria against Christians. Many strikes are by a group called the Fulani Herdsmen. Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of the Makurdi Diocese in the Benue state of Nigeria, joins to tell us more about how his state of Benue has experienced some of the worst attacks from the Fulani Herdsmen and explains who they are. Not only have many people died, but many others have been displaced because of the violence at the hands of these extremists. Bishop Wilfred shares what his diocese is doing to help those who have been uprooted by all this. Some have called this violence and aggression against Christians an act of ethnic cleansing. Bishop Wilfred discusses whether that is how he sees it. Bishop Wilfred explains what is driving all of this violence against Catholic and Christians in general and whether the government of Nigeria is doing anything to stop it. He fills us in on what else is happening in Nigeria, how the US is reacting and what he would like people to know. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
