EU: Buhari Doing Nothing To End Killings, Persecution Of Christians By Fulani


The European parliament, legislative branch of the European Union, has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of overseeing the persecution of Christians in the
Northern part of Nigeria where Sharia law is in practice.

The EU in a new report released on January 16, 2020 said over 6000 Christians had been murdered by "Fulani militants whereas in Sharia
states, Christians face constant discrimination and are often considered second class citizens.”

The report further adds that, “These attacks have continued with total impunity with perpetrators rarely being held to account whereas Amnesty
International report has demonstrated wilful negligence by the Nigerian security forces concerning deadly attacks against farming communities.”

The report says Buhari's poor handling of Nigeria's deteriorating situation in the North-East has worsened as non-governmental organisations ready to help are denied access by the Nigerian
Government for political reasons.

The EU condemned what it described as
"extermination of human beings or ethnic cleansing" while calling on the Nigerian Government to find immediate solutions to the conflict now affecting the stability of West Africa.
