Nigerian CDS Denies Christian Genocide Allegations, Emphasizes Terrorism Fight

General Olufemi Oluyede, the newly appointed Chief of Defence Staff in Nigeria, has rejected assertions of a Christian genocide in the country, asserting that Nigeria is combating terrorism rather than targeting any specific religious group. This statement comes in response to claims made by former US President Donald Trump, who designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern due to alleged widespread Christian killings.

Oluyede emphasized that Nigeria is facing global challenges of terrorism and is willing to collaborate with friendly nations to address insecurity within the country. The Chief of Defence Staff reassured Nigerians of the government's commitment to tackling acts of terror and seeking support from international partners.
