Muslim Fundamentalists Attack Catholic Seminarian And Burn Him To Death

Islamists in Nigeria burned a Catholic seminarian to death, as we read in Catholic Review:

In an endless cycle of violence against Christians in Nigeria, seminarian Na’Aman Danlami Stephen of the Diocese of Kafanchan was burned to death on Sept. 7 when a terrorist group called Fulani herdsmen attacked the rectory at St. Raphael Church in Fadan Kamantan.

Bishop Julius Kundi of Kafanchan told the Catholic agency Aid to the Church in Need that the parish priest, Father Emmanuel Okolo, and the assistant priest were able to escape the fire at the rectory, while the 25-year-old seminarian died in the attack.

Reactions to the killing have been pouring in on the official Facebook page of the diocese.
