Conservative MP Andrew Scheer says the persecution of Christians in Nigeria has received little media attention, compared to extensive reporting on conflicts in other parts of the world.

“When I think about the conflicts going on in other parts of the world with similar scales of displacements, similar levels of loss of life or persecution, there’s a tremendous amount of media attention on some of those conflicts,” Scheer said at a Nov. 17 subcommittee meeting about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
