Ted Cruz Urges US Sanctions on Nigerian Officials for Enforcing Sharia Laws

US Senator Ted Cruz urges the White House to impose sanctions on Nigerian government officials and 12 states enforcing Sharia and blasphemy laws, accusing them of persecuting Christians. Cruz praises former President Donald Trump for designating Nigeria as a country of particular concern and criticizes President Joe Biden for removing Nigeria from the list.

He introduces legislation to sanction officials aiding violence against Christians and those complicit in mass murder. Cruz emphasizes the need for strong diplomatic and economic pressure on Nigeria to stop the ongoing killings.
