US listed Nigeria as Religious Violator after IPOB lies – Garba Shehu

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has alleged that Nigeria was listed as a religious violator by the United States after falsehood and misinformation by extremist groups and the Indigenous People of Biafra in a well-funded international media campaign.

Shehu made this known in a statement titled, ‘What Biden’s removal of Nigeria from religious violation watchlist means,’ issued on Friday following the visit to Nigeria by the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken.

He said that right-wing American lobbyists were funded millions of dollars by IPOB to make true their “fake claims that Muslims and Christians cannot live side-by-side in love and peace.”
