Nigerian Islamic Council Rejects Trump's Genocide Claim, Alleges US Agenda

The Supreme Islamic Council in Nigeria strongly denies allegations of Christian genocide in the country, attributing them to a foreign propaganda agenda, particularly former US President Donald Trump. Prof.

Ishaq Oloyede of the Council dismisses the claims, stating that violence in Nigeria affects both Muslims and Christians, with no evidence supporting genocide. The Council urges Nigerian Christians and Muslims to resist foreign interference and focus on genuine security challenges.

They call for US support in combating terrorism rather than promoting divisive narratives. The Council also criticizes efforts to label Nigeria as a religious persecution zone and accuses pro-Israel groups of diverting attention from humanitarian crises in Gaza.
