US House Considers Condemning Christian Persecution in Nigeria

The US House of Representatives is reviewing a resolution condemning the persecution and killings of Christians in Nigeria, particularly by groups like Boko Haram and Fulani Militia. The resolution, backed by President Donald Trump's redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC), highlights the alarming number of deaths and attacks on churches.

It calls for diplomatic, economic, and security pressure on Nigeria to end impunity for religiously motivated violence and protect Christian communities. Despite reports of widespread violence, Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu denies systematic religious persecution.
