Nigeria Truly Happens To Be A Dangerous Place For Christians Worldwide — CBN News Blasts Remi Tinubu After Lying About Genocide In Exclusive Interview
An international news organisation, CBN has hit out at wife of Bola Tinubu, Remi for lying about the scale of Christian genocide in an exclusive interview with the platform, declaring that “Nigeria truly happens to be a dangerous place for Christians worldwide.”
In an exclusive interview with CBN News, the former Lagos senator and ordained pastor Oluremi Tinubu addressed allegations of a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria.
She repeatedly rejected the use of the term “genocide” to describe the violence affecting Christians, saying instead that the insecurity stems from terrorism, criminality, poverty, and longstanding regional conflicts rather than a systematic campaign to exterminate Christians.
She also welcomed continued U.S. cooperation on security, praised recent U.S. counter-terrorism actions, and highlighted her interfaith marriage as an example of coexistence.
However, weeks after the interview, CBN news in a report shared on X dismissed Remi’s narratives.
‘’One of the most dangerous places for Christians worldwide is Nigeria. More than a decade of deadly violence has drawn international scrutiny, prompted U.S. military action, and fueled debate over whether Africa’s most populous nation is facing genocide.
‘’In an exclusive interview with CBN News, Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, pushed back on claims that Christians are being systematically exterminated.’

‘’What’s the truth about this complex crisis? Christians are disproportionately targeted. If they’re not killed, they are kidnapped for ransom, lose their homes, farmland, and churches, and in some cases, women and young girls are forced into marrying their captors.’’
The organisation also cited a report by Open Doors’ World Watch List that claimed that more than 70 percent of Christians killed worldwide in recent years have died in Nigeria.
