Story number 3 for 6 Mar 2001

(Nigeria)–Christian Solidarity Worldwide is reporting that at least four people died, 50 people were arrested and two Baptist churches were vandalized during recent rioting in Nigeria. The incident comes as governors of Nigeria’s predominantly Christian southern states consider taking their northern counterparts to the Supreme Court regarding the introduction of Islamic law. Please continue to pray that believers will uphold the testimony of Christ during times they are persecuted for their faith.
