Unpacking the crisis facing Nigeria’s persecuted Church
Benjamin Watson sits down with Stephen Enada, president and co-founder of the International Committee on Nigeria, to unpack the crisis facing Nigeria’s persecuted church. They discuss undercounted death tolls, mass displacement, and why global and governmental inaction persists. Stephen challenges misleading “farmer–herder/climate” narratives, highlights corruption and terrorism, shares Leah Sharibu’s story, and explains the “Country of Particular Concern” designation. He also offers practical ways to pray, advocate, and support victims while pursuing religious freedom, peace and justice.
