INEC Chairman Faces Backlash Over Controversial Genocide Report
The Nigerian government remains silent as INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan faces criticism for a 2020 legal brief alleging a genocide against Christians by Boko Haram. Titled "Nigeria's Silent Slaughter," the report implicates Nigeria in international controversy.
Amupitan's past views on insecurity and religious violence have reignited debates. The government's long-standing position on Nigeria's insecurity is sharply contradicted by Amupitan's legal arguments.
Efforts to obtain official reactions have been unsuccessful, with Amupitan focusing on the Anambra governorship election amidst growing calls for clarification.
