Referring to last Saturday’s killing of rice farmers at Zabarmari village in Borno State by Boko Haram, Pope Francis said: “I want to assure my prayers for Nigeria, where blood has unfortunately been spilled once more in a terrorist attack.”
He lamented the death of the farm workers, many of whom were beheaded while in their farms.
However, Pope Francis maintained that God still loved each person, including the criminals regardless of their faults.
“May God welcome them in His peace and comfort their families, and convert the hearts of those who commit similar atrocities which gravely offend His name,” the Pope prayed.
