I have just read the harrowing account (‘They just turn up at night and kill Christians, says priest’, April 12) about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, which has claimed thousands of lives.

Should not Malta as a respected member of the Commonwealth call for the suspension of Nigeria from the Commonwealth? Not to do anything would render Malta an accomplice.

If Malta acts, Fr Polycarp Lamma’s visit here to raise global awareness about the ongoing persecution would have served its purpose.

There is no time to waste.
