A parishioner takes part in a Stations of the Cross service during the Good Friday service, at the Holy Cross Cathedral in Lagos, Nigeria, on April 2, 2021. A Nigerian priest was burned alive in his home in the country's north on Sunday, police said.
"Unfortunately, the bandits reportedly attempted to gain entrance into the residence, which seemed difficult," so they "set the house ablaze" and the Catholic priest burned to death, Wasiu said. The attacks sometimes target religious figures such as clerics. In July last year, Father John Mark Chietnum was killed after he was kidnapped in the northwestern Kaduna state.
