star this property answer text <p>Rising insecurity in Nigeria has affected all faith and non-faith communities, including Christians. UK Government officials and I (Minister Mitchell) regularly raise Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB), including the impact of insecurity on communities and the need to bring perpetrators to justice, with the Nigerian Government. In August 2023, the former Foreign Secretary discussed insecurity with President Tinubu and the National Security Advisor Nuhu Ribadu. In January 2024, the British High Commissioner raised the recent attacks in Plateau with the Nigerian National Security Adviser. Across Nigeria, the High Commissioner and his team work closely with the authorities, local communities and faith leaders to raise and address these issues, including through engagement with the Nigeria Governors' Forum, National Peace Committee and National Human Rights Commission.</p> more like this
