Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will raise with the Government of Nigeria the case of Bridget Agbahime who was murdered by on 2 June 2016 to seek to ensure the perpetrators are prosecuted.

​Nigeria is a secular, multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. We are concerned by the issue of blasphemy killings, such as that of Bridget Agbahime. Although the British Government cannot interfere in the judicial process of another country we strongly believe that those responsible for such crimes should be brought to justice.

We continue to support Nigerian authorities' efforts to strengthen their criminal justice system and ensure accountability in Nigeria.
