Concerns about ongoing violence have been raised with Nigerian officials at a breakfast event during Nigeria’s first state visit to the UK in 37 years.

Nigerian president Bola Tinubu and his wife recently embarked on the trip and high-level British officials were urged to confront him about problems facing the nation, including the well-documented persecution of Christians.
