John Cardinal Onaiyekan has attributed the reported increase of kidnapping of school children in Nigeria to graft and opaqueness on the part of the political leaders in the West African nation.
John Cardinal Onaiyekan of Nigeria is calling upon election tribunals working on the February and March poll petitions to speed up their assignments for the West African nation to regain unity.
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Oyo in Nigeria has lauded a Muslim man in the country for donating an operating theatre to a hospital run by the Diocese, noting that the West African country needs more similar gestures of interfaith collaboration.
Nigeria is facing unprecedented security crisis and the situation “is getting out of hand”, John Cardinal Onaiyekan has said, and regretted the fact that “nobody is safe” in the West African nation.
Cardinal Onaiyekan said: ‘They attack farmers’ fields, kill farmers and no one says anything.’
Cardinal Onaiyekan said it is ‘the duty of pastors to make access to confession easily available.’
