A U.S. bill proposes sanctions against Nigeria's former Kano governor and groups over alleged religious violence killing over 9,500, mostly Christians, from 2023–2025.
A proposed U.S. bill, the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, seeks targeted sanctions—including visa bans and asset freezes—against former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and groups like the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, citing alleged involvement in religious persecution and mass atrocities.
Introduced in the House of Representatives, the legislation, backed by Republican lawmakers, aims to apply pressure under the Global Magnitsky Act, referencing violence in Benue and Plateau states from 2023 to 2025 that killed over 9,500 people, mostly Christians.
It calls for annual reports on Nigeria’s religious freedom situation and increased U.S. diplomatic, humanitarian, and security engagement.
The bill remains under committee review and has not passed.
