According to Kingsley Moghalu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Boko Haram terrorist group is destroying towns in Nigeria.
The fact that this terrorist gang is also killing Muslims was revealed by Moghalu, nevertheless.
The reference to Christian genocide in Nigeria, he pointed out, does not correspond to what is happening there.

A more nuanced reality is referenced in the myth of “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, he said in an X post. Nigeria is my home. My country is real, and I know it. In addition, I am well-connected with influential policymakers in a number of global capitals.
Boko Haram is obviously a terrorist organisation driven by religious fanaticism. Christians and Muslims who disagree with its radical interpretations of Islam are among those it terrorises.
Christians make up the vast majority of the Middle Belt murder victims. When entire communities are being slaughtered and forced from their ancestral homes, the stories of a fight for water, land, and farms lose all credibility.
Even the perceived necessity of grazing areas cannot justify this. Both violent herdsmen and Boko Haram are destroying people’s right to life and other basic rights.
In a challenge to the Nigerian government, he demanded that they ensure the safety of their citizens.
Following reports of a Christian genocide in Nigeria, Moghalu argued that the government should reach out to other nations that are interested in the matter.
“This prompts the duty of @NigeriaGov to safeguard Nigerians and Nigerian land,” he continued. That is all. Just say no. Nigeria should interact with the powerful international countries showing interest in this topic after its security policy is proven effective.
