Kidnappings on the Rise in Nigeria Prompt Pope’s Concern

Kidnappings have surged to alarming levels in Nigeria, with abductions becoming distressingly common in recent months. The abduction of 27 students from a school in the north-central state of Niger last week further underscores the severity of the situation, adding to the growing list of victims.

Pope Francis has voiced his apprehension over the escalating crisis of kidnappings in Nigeria, emphasizing the urgent need for action. His remarks shed light on the international unease surrounding the security challenges in Nigeria, as the government grapples with the escalating wave of abductions.

In a statement released via his official communication channels, the Pope expressed solidarity with the Nigerian people and offered prayers for their protection. He highlighted the pressing need for Nigerian authorities to redouble efforts in rescuing the abducted individuals and effectively combating the pervasive threat of kidnappings.

The Pope’s remarks serve as a poignant call to the Nigerian government to prioritize the safety and security of its citizens, urging swift and decisive action to address the concerning surge in kidnappings that continues to plague the country.
