Soyinka: Nigeria's Crisis Not Religious War, Urges Unity Against Extremists

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka refutes claims by US President Donald Trump of Christian persecution in Nigeria, emphasizing the crisis as a battle against extremists, not a religious war. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) confirms mass killings by Islamist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP, impacting all religious groups.

The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) condemns Trump's threat of military action against Nigeria. Soyinka urges unity against external threats to national sovereignty and calls for urgent government action to address insecurity and human rights violations.
