By Chimaibi Nwaiwu
NNEWI — The Christian Elders and Professionals Consultative Council of Nigeria (CEPCCN) has expressed support for concerns raised by the United States over the safety of Christian communities and the worsening security situation in Nigeria.
The group, however, stressed that all Nigerian lives were equally valuable, irrespective of religious affiliation, saying Christians, Muslims and traditional religious practitioners deserved protection from violence.
