Nigerian govt rejects US report on ‘religious persecution’
The Nigerians Government has again, countered claims of genocide against Christian in the country.
Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, who was reacting to reports of religious persecution submitted to the US President Donald Trump by congressman, Riley Moore said there is no religious persecution in Nigeria.
The report filed by the US House Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Affairs, followed months of investigation conducted in Nigeria.
The report outlined findings on alleged persecution of Christians and broader extremist violence against those who believe in Christ Jesus.
In a statement, the Minister said, “It is important to state clearly that Nigeria does not have, and has never had, a state policy of religious persecution.
“The violence being confronted by our security agencies is not driven by government policy or religious bias, but by complex security threats, including terrorism, organised criminality, and longstanding communal tensions.
“Nigeria values its longstanding and strategic partnership with the United States. Our two countries share common interests in promoting security, economic development, and regional stability.
“We remain open to constructive dialogue and cooperation rooted in mutual respect, shared responsibility, and recognition of Nigeria’s constitutional framework and sovereignty.”
