Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Meloni, has advised the Federal Government to take decisive steps against the terrorists in the nation.
She made the call in a statement on Friday while reacting to claims of alleged Christian genocide made by American President, Donald Trump.
Meloni urged the Federal Government to prosecute those responsible for violence against Christians in the country.
She condemned attacks on Christians, saying that religious freedom was the right of every human being.
The prime minister also demanded the tightening of the security apparatus in Christian communities across Nigeria.
“We strongly condemn the renewed violence against Christian communities in Nigeria today. Religious freedom is an inalienable right: we call on the Nigerian government to strengthen the protection of Christian communities and all religious communities and prosecute those responsible for this heinous attack.
“Italy expresses its closeness to the victims and communities in Nigeria that today feel in danger because of their religious beliefs,” she wrote.
Her comment is coming against the backdrop of renewed attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria.
Naija News reports that gunmen on Tuesday evening attacked a church in the Eruku area of Kwara, killing two people and kidnapping the pastor and some worshippers.
The Kwara attack came days after 25 girls were abducted from a boarding school in Kebbi State.
