“In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted, driven from their homes and killed. Churches have been burnt, families have been turned apart and communities have been living in fear constantly.

“I want to be clear, protecting Christians in Nigeria is not about taking sides, or dividing people, it is about uniting humanity. Nigeria is a beautiful nation.
