Nigerian government helpless against insecurity, Kukah tells U.S
Recall, Kukah told the United States Congress Commission that the federal government is helpless in the face of security challenges, which it promised to address before taking power in 2015.
The priest said this during his virtual presentation on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria by armed extremist groups in the north.
Kukah said the people were yet to see any tangible move towards tackling insecurity, which, according to him, has a religious undertone.
