US Envoy: Boko Haram Kills More Muslims Than Christians in Nigeria, Caution Against Religious Divisions

The US envoy in Nigeria, Richard Mills, emphasized that Boko Haram's violence affects both Muslims and Christians, rejecting the notion of specific religious targeting. He warned against religious divisions in addressing terrorism and commended Nigeria's efforts to enhance security.

The envoy's remarks come amidst debates on the religious dimensions of insecurity in Nigeria, particularly in the Middle Belt region. He praised the country's history of religious coexistence and urged unity in combating terrorism.
