Cruz Presses Nigeria on Christian Killings
Liberty Check
- Sen. Cruz introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act to impose sanctions on complicit officials.
- Nigerian authorities insist Cruz’s claims are completely fabricated, maintaining there is religious harmony in the country.
- Independent advocates and data reveal Christians are disproportionately targeted by extremist violence in Nigeria.
A fierce exchange is underway between Senator Ted Cruz and Nigerian officials over the mass killings of Christians, raising urgent questions about religious freedom and government accountability. Nigerian leaders dismiss Cruz’s warnings and deny any targeting of Christians, while Cruz calls out systemic policies enabling violence.
Open Doors’ report shows Nigeria remains one of the most dangerous countries for Christians, with the majority of Christian deaths occurring there, further intensifying concerns about religious rights and the rule of law.
Stay alert and speak up to ensure government inaction and bias never threaten the fundamental right to religious liberty—at home or abroad.
The Constitution must be defended.
