Why are priests subjected to danger in Nigeria and elsewhere in the world?
Over the past few months, extremists escalated their attacks on priests in Nigeria with gunmen kidnapping them and later killing them, thus creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion among the believers.
On Sunday, 19 June 2022, gunmen attacked two churches in rural northwestern Nigeria and killed three people, weeks after a similar attack in the West African nation that left 40 worshippers dead.
