US Representatives Seek Sanctions on Nigerian Terror Groups for Religious Freedom Violations
The US House of Representatives has introduced a resolution urging sanctions on individuals and groups in Nigeria accused of violating religious freedom. The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Christoph Smith and co-sponsored by Rep. Paul Huizenga, highlights the alleged terrorist activities of groups like Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, particularly in Benué and Plateau State.
The resolution cites reports of mass murders, rapes, and kidnappings targeting Nigerian Christians and non-Fulani Muslims. It also mentions testimonies from religious leaders like Father Remigiu Iyohula and Bishop Wilfr Anagb.
The move aims to hold the Nigerian government accountable for religious persecution.
