A prominent Christian group in Nigeria has accused U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry of being "discriminatory...and divisive" during a recent trip to the West African country.

Kerry was in Nigeria on Monday and Tuesday and was hosted by the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar III, the most senior Islamic cleric in the country. The U.S. diplomat also met with 19 governors of Nigeria's northern states and held talks with President Muhammadu Buhari, who is also a Muslim.

The president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Reverend Supo Ayokunle, told reporters on Thursday that Kerry's visit showed a "lack of respect for the heterogenous nature of Nigeria" and favored the country's Muslim population "to the detriment of the Christian community," Nigeria's Premium Times reported.
