 POPE LEO DECRIES RISING PERSECUTION, URGES WORLD LEADERS TO PROTECT CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA


Pope Leo has raised a loud alarm over the escalating attacks and reported killings of Christians in Nigeria, warning that the country has become one of the hardest-hit hotspots for religious violence globally.


The pontiff expressed deep concern over what international rights organisations describe as a troubling pattern of deadly persecution and alleged genocide targeting Christian communities across Nigeria.


He noted that violence against religious minorities is worsening across several regions, urging world leaders to confront the crisis with urgency.


In a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday, Pope Leo lamented that Christian populations in multiple countries continue to face “discrimination and persecution.”


He singled out Nigeria among nations grappling with relentless assaults on churches and Christian settlements attacks that have triggered widespread fear, mass displacement, and mounting casualties.


“I think especially of Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mozambique, Sudan, and other countries from which we frequently hear of attacks on communities and places of worship,” he wrote.


Pope Leo also mourned the recent massacre of civilians in Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, calling it part of a broader and disturbing trend of religiously motivated violence across Africa.


“God is a merciful father who desires peace among all His children,” he said, adding that he is praying for the families affected by the Kivu tragedy.


He called on global leaders, faith communities, and citizens to push for an immediate end to hostilities and renew their commitment to peaceful coexistence.


“Let us pray that all violence may cease and that believers may work together for the common good,” he urged.


His message comes amid renewed international pressure for stronger protective measures for Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt and northern regions, where extremist groups and armed militias have carried out recurrent attacks for years.
