The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, says there is no Christian genocide in the country, warning that Western countries are using propaganda aimed at dividing Nigeria.
The Movement under the leadership of Ibraheem Zakzaky, in a statement on Sunday, rejected US President Donald Trump’s allegations that the Nigerian government was supporting genocide against Christians.
The statement by Abdullahi Danladi of the movement’s resource forum, described the allegations as false, inflammatory, and dangerous.
According to Danladi, the organisation has always stood firmly for peaceful coexistence, justice, and unity among all Nigerians, irrespective of religion, ethnicity, or political leaning.
He stressed that Islam and Christianity share far more in common in their moral teachings than political actors often acknowledge.
He further noted that Nigeria’s crisis is moral and political, not religious, pointing to corruption, greed, and elite manipulation as the true causes of insecurity.
Quoting Zakzaky, he said, “The poor Christian and the poor Muslim have no conflict; their common enemy is the unjust system that enslaves them both.”
DAILY POST reports that Trump, in a post on his Truth Social, declared Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over allegation of Christian genocide.
