After visiting St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla just outside the capital city of Abuja, Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency following the recent bomb attacks - a series of five - by Muslims against Christians on Christmas Day that left more than 200 people dead.
As part of the emergency efforts, parts of Nigeria's borders will be closed and a counter-terrorism taskforce will be established.
Following President Jonathan's (who is a Christian from the south of Nigeria) election last April violence errupted leaving more than 500 people dead.
