What the petition asks
It is estimated that over 16,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since 2015. No group has been brought to justice and the scale of these atrocities keeps rising. We need the UK Government to add pressure on the Nigerian govt. to put a stop to these killings before it escalates to war.
