 US Congressional Committee Approves Sanctions on Nigeria Over Christian Killings


The United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa has given President Donald Trump the go-ahead to impose stringent sanctions on Nigeria. This decision comes in response to the widespread killing of Christians in the country.


During a congressional hearing on Wednesday, March 12, lawmakers condemned the Nigerian government for failing to protect Christian communities from escalating violence. The committee cited a disturbing 2024 report by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa, revealing that Nigerians accounted for 90% of all Christians killed worldwide each year.


The report documented alarming statistics, including the killing of 55,910 people and the abduction of 21,000 others by terrorist groups operating in the region between October 2019 and September 2023.


Committee Chairman Chris Smith emphasized the severity of the crisis, highlighting testimony from Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of the Diocese of Makurdi, Nigeria. Bishop Anagbe's testimony described militant Fulani herdsmen as terrorists who enjoy total impunity from elected officials.


The congressional panel strongly criticized the Nigerian government for failing to address religiously motivated violence, despite constitutional protections for religious freedom. They expressed concern that Nigeria's judicial system has been weaponized to suppress Christian communities, citing cases where blasphemy laws have been used to target religious minorities.
