The United States Congress is set to hold another session today on allegations of widespread killings of Christians in Nigeria, with witnesses scheduled to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee.
The hearing forms part of ongoing efforts by U.S. lawmakers to examine claims of religious violence and insecurity affecting Christian communities in parts of the country.
Among those expected to testify is the Chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, alongside other experts and witnesses who will provide insight into the nature and scope of the crisis.
Reports to be presented are expected to highlight violent attacks, including killings, kidnappings, and the destruction of villages, particularly in northern Nigeria.
Religious leaders and advocacy groups have long alleged that Christian communities are being deliberately targeted, a situation they say has worsened over the years amid persistent insecurity.
Past hearings have featured testimonies describing the violence as systematic and unchecked, with calls for stronger international attention and intervention.
However, Nigerian authorities have repeatedly rejected claims of religious persecution, maintaining that the country’s security challenges stem largely from criminality, terrorism, and banditry, rather than targeted attacks based on faith.
This latest congressional session is expected to further assess the allegations and consider possible policy responses, including diplomatic or humanitarian measures.
The hearing is being closely monitored by religious freedom advocates and members of the international community concerned about the safety of vulnerable populations in Nigeria.
