Please sign ACN’s Nigeria petition

We request that the UK Government call on their Nigerian counterparts to bring to justice those responsible for genocidal attacks such as the Pentecost Sunday 2022 massacre and countless other killings, abductions and other atrocities. The UK Government must demand the arrest and imprisonment of terrorists, the return of lands and villages, as well as compensation for the destruction of properties and livelihoods.

Around the world, Christians are suffering in greater numbers than ever. They – and other minority faith groups – feel that the world neither knows nor cares about them.But there is hope. By standing alongside them and by telling their stories of heroic faith and courage WE can Break the Silence on religious persecution. WE can be their voice, WE can shine a light on injustices and WE can be a beacon of Christ’s light and love through our families, schools, universities, groups and communities. Don’t let the survivors suffer in vain.

Margaret lost both legs and her sight in one eye after a bomb blast at St Francis Xavier’s Church in Owo, a town in south-west Nigeria. On the day of the attack, the church was packed with parishioners, as it was Pentecost Sunday. Margaret was up in the church gallery singing in the choir when gunmen began shooting.
