Insecurity: Catholics in Nigeria to wear black outfits on Ash Wednesday - Edoman - 02-23-2020 Insecurity: Catholics in Nigeria to wear black outfits on Ash Wednesday Catholics in Nigeria will be wearing black outfits on Ash Wednesday to mourn those killed in kidnapping and other violent attacks across the country. The Catholics Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) in its statement which is to be read at masses across Catholic churches on Wednesday February 26, called on the government to live up to its responsibility of protecting Nigerians while also pointing out the church's moral responsibility. It read in parts; Quote:“As a mark of mourning for all our brothers and sisters who have been victims of the most recent wave of violence against Christians, we are all dressed in black today and offer our prayers and penance for their repose. The statement signed by Augustine Akubeze and Camillus Umoh, president and secretary of CBCN respectively came weeks after the Christian Association of Nigeria held ‘prayer protests‘ across Nigeria to call the government’s attention to the rising spate of killings in the country. |
