NNPP Shocked Over US Bill Targeting Kwankwaso for Sanctions in Nigeria
The New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has expressed shock over a proposed US bill targeting former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and others for potential sanctions, including visa bans and asset seizures, over alleged religious persecution and mass atrocities in Nigeria. The bill, introduced in the US House of Representatives, seeks to address religious persecution and mass atrocities in Nigeria, particularly targeting violent Fulani groups.
The legislation accuses the Nigerian government of routine denial of religious persecution and failure to intervene adequately in attacks. The bill also criticizes the government's response to prevent religiously motivated violence.
The proposed sanctions aim to pressure Nigeria to end impunity, protect Christian communities, and enable the safe return of internally displaced persons.
