Through my prayers, I convey my solidarity with the Nigerian people, hoping that comprehensive efforts will be undertaken to minimize the occurrence of these incidents. Pope shared this sentiment on his X account on Sunday.
The Pope’s remarks come at a time when Nigeria is grappling with an upsurge in kidnapping cases across various regions. Criminals have been targeting different areas, abducting individuals for ransom.
