The Nigerian government, through the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has denied allegations of targeted killings of Christians in the country.
In a statement issued on Friday, the ministry said reports promoting these allegations are misleading and intended to pressure the United States into designating Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).
The CPC is a designation used by the United States Department of State for countries that engage in or tolerate severe violations of religious freedom.
