United States House of Representatives says Nigeria is world’s most dangerous place for Christians in 2017

In February 2017, former President Goodluck Jonathan addressed the Sub-committee on Africa, Global Health, Human Rights and International Organisations, outlining the challenges faces by Christians in Nigeria.

The Chairman of the Sub-committee, Christopher Smith, said that he and his staff director, Greg Simpkins had made several visits to Nigeria, conversing with both Christians and Muslim leaders and inspecting several burnt out churches. He added that impunity for those responsible for killing Christians seem to be widespread.

Sadly, little seems to have changed since the present President, Muhammadu Buhari came to power in 2015.
