The Nigeria government has rejected a recent report from the United Kingdom All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion, detailing cases of alleged genocide against Christians in the country.
“… we look forward to welcoming members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group to our country to see for themselves the work that is going on to promote these fundamental rights of our citizens,” Garba Shehu, a presidential aide, said on Friday.
It stated that the response of the Nigerian Government to conflicts involving farmers and herders had been inadequate or ineffective and that this had allowed the violence to escalate. “President and Government of Nigeria wish to thank members of the United Kingdom All-Party Parliamentary Group on International Religious Freedom or Belief for their report, launched a few days ago.
“Boko Haram have targeted Christians and Churches specifically because they know it drives forward religious and land tensions already existent in the country. Similarly, they attack mosques and Muslims in order to issue the threat: radicalise, or become targets yourselves.”
