BBC Questions Data Behind Trump's Nigeria Blacklist
The BBC has raised concerns over the data used by former U.S. President Donald Trump to blacklist Nigeria for alleged religious persecution.
Trump cited figures claiming 3,100 Christians were killed in a year, but the accuracy of these numbers has been questioned. The report also highlighted inaccuracies in claims of Christian deaths and church destruction in Nigeria.
The BBC traced the statistics to international civil society reports, casting doubt on the credibility of the information.
