Activist Criticizes Bishop Kukah's Stance on Religious Freedom in Nigeria
Civil rights activist Dr. Thompson Udenwa has faulted Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, for what he perceives as a sudden shift in stance on religious freedom and persecution in Nigeria. Udenwa questions Bishop Kukah's recent comments, noting a perceived inconsistency with his previous vocal advocacy for persecuted Christians in the country.
The activist raises concerns about the bishop's apparent retreat from his earlier convictions and calls for international recognition of the persecution faced by Christians in Nigeria. Bishop Kukah's remarks were made during the launch of an aid program for churches in need in 2025 at the Vatican City.
