Northern Christian group urges US to reconsider Nigeria sanctions

The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) has appealed to the United States government and its lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, to reconsider the move to label Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged Christian persecution. In a statement on Wednesday, the group said that while it acknowledges the reality of Christian killings in parts of northern Nigeria, such a designation could harm ongoing national efforts to promote peace and unity. The NCYP warned that the proposed action, though well-intentioned, might undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives aimed at fostering inclusivity and reconciliation across religious and ethnic lines. The group praised President Tinubu for appointing Christians, especially from northern Nigeria, to key administrative and security positions. According to the NCYP’s National Public Relations Officer, Christian Oda, this demonstrates the president’s commitment to fairness and national unity. “This conviction is […]

US Missionary Abducted in Niger’s Capital Niamey

A United States missionary working for the evangelical Christian organisation SIM has been abducted in Niamey, the capital of Niger, diplomatic and security sources confirmed on Wednesday. The unnamed victim, a man in his 50s, was reportedly kidnapped on Tuesday and is believed to be “already en route for the border with Mali,” according to a diplomatic source familiar with the case. The incident marks the latest in a series of abductions targeting Western nationals in northern Niger, a country grappling with jihadist violence and governed by a military junta for more than two years.

In April, a 67-year-old Swiss woman identified as “Claudia” was abducted in the northern city of Agadez, just three months after Austrian national […]

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri, alongside a US former mayor and a top Islamic leader, has strongly rejected US Senator Ted Cruz's allegation that the Nigerian government sponsors Boko Haram insurgency.
