Senior Adviser to US President Donald Trump on Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, has said that terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and ISIS have killed more Muslims than Christians in Nigeria.
He dismissed claims of religious persecution in the country as inaccurate.
Boulos stated this in a video shared by the Nigerian Television Authority on X on Friday while responding to questions about comments from some US politicians alleging that Christians were being targeted in Nigeria.
He described such claims as unfortunate and misleading, insisting that terrorism in Nigeria is not driven by religion but by broader insecurity that affects all Nigerians.
