Shehu Sani Criticizes New York Times Report on 'Christian Genocide' Claims in Nigeria

Former Senator Shehu Sani criticized a New York Times report linking 'Christian Genocide' claims in Nigeria to unverified sources, specifically mentioning Emeka Umeagbalasi, a trader from Anambra State. The report alleged that 125,000 Christians died in Nigeria in 2009, based on questionable data.

Sani expressed concern over the impact of such unverified information on US lawmakers and decision-making processes. The New York Times investigation identified Umeagbalasi as the source of the data, who runs a small NGO called Open Doors.
