Methodist Bishop Raises Alarm Over Rising Attacks on Christians Across Nigeria

The Methodist Bishop of Item Diocese in Abia State, Bishop Ikechukwu Emezi Nkulo, has expressed deep concern over the increasing cases of killings, kidnappings, and targeted assaults on Christians in the North, Middle Belt, and parts of the South East.

The Bishop raised the alarm on Saturday while delivering a message addressing national security issues. He condemned the growing trend of kidnapping worshippers and schoolchildren in parts of the North, stressing that such incidents must not be ignored or tolerated because of political interests ahead of the 2027 elections.

Bishop Nkulo cited several worrying examples, including the prolonged captivity of Leah Sharibu, the killing of Deborah Samuel Yakubu over alleged blasphemy, and ongoing attacks on Christian worship centres nationwide. He also referenced the recent incident at CAC Ekuru in Kwara State, where worshippers were reportedly assaulted.

According to the cleric, “Nigeria is under siege from insecurity. This is not the time for political games or early election fever. The Federal Government must act decisively to protect its citizens.”

He urged national leaders to place the safety, dignity, and justice owed to citizens above political planning for the 2027 general elections.

The Bishop also criticised the recent Federal High Court judgement sentencing IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment. He described the ruling as “potentially destabilizing,” warning that it could aggravate existing tensions.

Bishop Nkulo concluded by praying for peace, unity, and stability in Nigeria. He reaffirmed his belief that a political solution remains the most viable path toward resolving long standing grievances and restoring calm across the country.
