BREAKING: Sharia Council Condemns Trump’s CPC Designation on Nigeria, Unveils Response Plan

Published

By: Fabian Apechihin

The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN), Kaduna State Chapter, has strongly condemned the decision of the United States government under President Donald J. Trump to list Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern (CPC)” over alleged persecution of Christians.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Council’s Secretary, Engineer Hassan Abdul Rahman, described the designation as “unjust, biased, and based on a one-sided narrative.”

According to Abdul Rahman, the U.S. move failed to recognize the true causes of Nigeria’s insecurity, which he said are rooted in “ethnic, political, and economic factors rather than religion.”

“The Council is deeply concerned about this development and rejects the allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria,” he stated. “The Trump administration should have sought a balanced understanding of the situation before drawing such conclusions.”

He further argued that both Muslims and Christians have suffered the effects of terrorism and communal violence, noting that data show Muslims have also been major victims.

“Statistics clearly indicate that Muslims are among the worst affected in these crises,” Abdul Rahman said. “Reducing the entire problem to religion distorts reality and undermines efforts to achieve peace and national unity.”

The SCSN accused Western nations of displaying “selective empathy,” saying they only raise concern when Christian lives are lost but remain silent when Muslims are attacked.

“Whenever Muslims are killed, the West looks away,” he lamented. “They amplify Christian casualties but ignore Muslim victims. This double standard fuels resentment and widens divisions.”

The Council also faulted the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for allegedly promoting “false narratives” that worsen religious tension.

“To CAN, who spread these falsehoods, they should remember that if Nigeria collapses — may Allah forbid — everyone, Christians and Muslims alike, will suffer,” he warned.

The Sharia Council urged Nigerians to remain united and resist foreign interference aimed at dividing the country.

“Let us not allow external propaganda to destroy our unity,” Abdul Rahman said. “Through dialogue and understanding, Nigeria can overcome its challenges and build lasting peace.”

He further called on the federal government to respond decisively to the U.S. designation, saying mere diplomatic statements are inadequate.

“Our stance is firm — we condemn the U.S. action in the strongest terms,” he declared. “The government must go beyond issuing press releases; if necessary, it should consider stronger diplomatic measures to show the seriousness of this matter.”
