Chief Of Defence Staff, Oluyede, Rejects Allegations Of Genocide Against Christians

General Olufemi Oluyede, the recently appointed Chief of Defence Staff, has denied allegations of the purported Christian genocide in Nigeria.

According to reports, President Donald Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) this week further escalated the allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Additionally, the US President promised that the US military would step in if the Nigerian government did not put an end to the purported persecution of Christians.

Contrary to what some US lawmakers and religious freedom advocates have asserted, the CDS stated that there is no genocide against Christians in a statement made shortly after a meeting with the National Security Adviser (NSA).

He maintained that terrorism is a worldwide problem that has afflicted Nigeria for many years.

“Christians in Nigeria are not persecuted,” he declared. I want Nigerians to know that. Nigeria has been dealing with insecurity for a while now, particularly with regard to terrorism.

“We have been making every effort to put an end to this act of terrorism within the nation.

“We are prepared to enlist the assistance of any nations that are willing to stand with Nigeria in order to prevent acts of terrorism in Nigeria.”
