Nigeria Rejects US Lawmakers' Christian Genocide Claims

The Nigerian Senate formed a 12-member committee to respond to US claims of Christian persecution amid complex violence involving jihadist groups and communal conflicts.

  • Nigerian Bishops gathered to protest violence against Christians, stating that international attention is needed for the ongoing persecution in Nigeria, which has been largely ignored.
  • Senator Ted Cruz introduced a bill to hold Nigerian officials accountable for violence against Christians, asserting that they are complicit in such acts.
  • Nigeria's Foreign Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, rejected allegations of state-supported violence, claiming that the violence is driven by resource tensions rather than religious bias.
  • The Nigerian House of Representatives expressed concern over a U.S. Senate bill proposing Nigeria's designation as a Country of Particular Concern for alleged religious freedom violations.
