Letter to The Archbishop of Canterbury
Dear Most Reverend Justin Welby, The
Archbishop of Canterbury. Sir, when next
you visit Nigeria’s President Muhammadu
Buhari, could you please ask him why no
one has been punished for the deaths of
347 Shiite men, women, children and infants
on his watch on December 15, 2015? Why
do you continue to affirm the man who has
treated the deaths as though it was
nothing? Why the silence of the world?
Civilians died in a war situation in Aleppo
and the world gets agitated. Civilians died in
Zaria where there is no war and the world
accepts it. Is it because they are Shiites? Are
the Shiites not children of God? Do their lives
not matter as much as President Buhari’s
life? Remember that the Good Samaritan
was not a Jew. He was a Samaritan, the
enemy of the Jews. If you still keep quiet and
one day (God forbid) Nigerian Anglicans are
killed (killings in churches are not infrequent
in Nigeria), how can you speak up against
the killings without appearing to be a hypocrite?
