Nigerian Islamic Council Denounces U.S. Allegations of Christian Genocide, Cites Terrorism as Root Cause
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) dismissed the U.S. allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria, labeling it as a false narrative aimed at causing division and unrest. Prof. Ishaq Oloyede emphasized that the insecurity in Nigeria is driven by terrorism, crime, poverty, and climate change, not religious conflict.
He urged Nigerian faith communities to reject foreign manipulation and focus on unity. The NSCIA called for the Nigerian government to enhance security measures and protect all citizens regardless of religion.
Oloyede also linked the propaganda to foreign interests in Nigeria's religious affairs and warned against inflaming religious tensions. Amnesty International's reports were cited to refute claims of genocide in Nigeria.
