We want to express our deep gratitude for this action, which offers renewed courage to Christians in Nigeria to continue practicing their religion.

?The whistle blower behind this genocidal act is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who prophesied the killing of Christians by the terrorist groups sponsored by the government years ago.
