The Director General of the National Orientation Agency, Lanre Issa-Onilu, has said the claim of Christian genocide in Nigeria is a failure of intelligence gathering by the United States.
Malam Issa–Onilu stated during a press conference in Abuja to refute redesignation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” by the United States government.
He said the allegations are false and unfair to Nigeria, noting that even the US was aware that there was no systematic persecution of Christians in the country.
He further stated that the recent shake-up among Nigeria’s security chiefs demonstrated that the country was working seriously to strengthen its internal security and address communal and religious violence.
