Nigerian Government Denies US Christian Genocide Claim, Emphasizes Religious Freedom

The Nigerian government has responded to the US designation of Nigeria as a 'Country of Concern' for alleged Christian genocide, denying the claims made by former US President Donald Trump. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the remarks do not reflect the reality of religious coexistence in Nigeria, emphasizing the protection of religious freedom across the nation.

The government highlighted ongoing efforts to tackle terrorism and promote peace and dialogue. This rebuttal comes amidst renewed controversy over the US stance on Nigeria's religious freedom record.
