 Christians killing Christians in south-east — it’s not about religion, says Soludo on genocide claims


Charles Soludo, governor of Anambra, says Christians are killing one another in the south-east, noting that the violence in the region has nothing to do with religion.


Soludo was reacting to US President Donald Trump’s threat to “protect Christians in Nigeria” by attacking the country and “completely wiping out the Islamic terrorists”.


During a media chat on Sunday, the Anambra governor acknowledged that the US has the right to its own views.


“But when it comes to what it does, I am sure it must also act within the realm of its own international law,” Soludo said.


“There is a deeper conversation, our introspection about what goes on in the country. In this part of the world, eastern Nigeria, it is not religious.


“People are killing themselves, Christians killing Christians. The people in the bushes are Emmanuel, Peter, and John, all Christian names, and they have maimed and killed thousands of our youths. It has nothing to do with religion.
