A United Arab Emirates political analyst, Ahmed Sharief Alameri, has raised alarm over what he describes as a systematic campaign of ethnic and religious violence against Christians in Nigeria, according to a report by SaharaReporters.
In a post shared on X, Alameri claimed Christian communities are being attacked in their homes and churches, with children reportedly killed for practising their faith. He described the violence as “methodical,” targeting communities with precision and driven by extremist ideologies linked to groups such as Boko Haram and the Muslim Brotherhood.
“The killings are methodical. The targets are chosen. Villages vanish under the same banners of fanaticism that have stained other regions in fire,” Alameri wrote, warning that the silence of the international community emboldens these groups.

He praised the resilience of Nigerian Christians, describing them as “people of peace” who contribute through farming, teaching, and worship, and urged world leaders to act, calling their protection a “defence of human dignity.”
Alameri’s comments come amid growing international concern. U.S. lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, have called for Nigeria to be redesignated as a “Country of Particular Concern” over religious persecution, citing reports that Nigeria accounts for 90% of Christians killed globally each year.
However, Nigerian authorities have strongly rejected these claims, insisting that insecurity affects all citizens regardless of religion and warning against narratives that could harm the nation’s image.
