This report highlights ethnonationalist violence in Nigeria and its implications for religious freedom. Ethnonationalist fighters in Nigeria have politicized religion and attacked civilians based on ethnoreligious identity. These fighters commit some of the most egregious atrocities and human rights violations of any actors in the country. In several regions ethnonationalist militias have targeted ethnoreligious minorities as well as houses of worship and religious ceremonies with violence. This report documents these trends and highlights the Nigerian government\u2019s disparate and ineffective approaches to curtailing violence by these groups, which have led to widespread impunity for violence, including violence against religious communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
