Attack on Nigerian cardinal's car shows need for more security

Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan of Abuja, Nigeria, is pictured in a 2013 photo at the Vatican.Two bishops from southern Nigeria condemned an attack on a vehicle carrying Cardinal Onaiyekan and appealed to the government to tackle the issue of growing attacks in Edo state.
