Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has tabled a fresh request before the United States government.
NewsOne Nigeria reports that the IPOB leader called on the United States Department of State to appoint a special envoy to protect “Christians in Nigeria”.
The IPOB leader, whose group had since been proscribed by the Nigerian Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari, made this call on the micro-blogging site, Twitter on Thursday, August 20.
The IPOB leader made this call while quoting Open Doors USA 2020 World Watch List ranking Nigeria number one in “Christians killed for their faith”. Open Doors USA is committed to aiding Persecuted Christians around the globe.
Displeased with Open Doors USA 2020 World Watch List, Kanu said as the persecution of Christians in Nigeria continues to worsen, he urges the U.S State Department to appoint a special envoy to “protect these innocent children, women and men.”
Kanu tweeted: “According to @OpenDoors’ 2020 World Watch List, Nigeria ranks No. 1 in Christians killed for their faith. As the persecution of Christians in Nigeria continues to worsen, I urge the @StateDept to appoint a special envoy to protect these innocent children, women and men!”
