PROTESTER IN THE U.S. ADMITS HE WAS PAID TO DENY CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA
…as Old Video From 2021 Resurfaces Amid Renewed Global Concerns
A resurfaced video from 2021 has reignited public outrage after a U.S.-based protester admitted he was paid to hold a placard dismissing the long-reported attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria.
The footage, originally recorded during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, captures the protester openly confessing that an individual based in the Bronx, New York, hired him to participate in a demonstration designed to downplay concerns about Christian-targeted killings in Nigeria.
Further adding to the controversy, the protester revealed during an interview that he is not Nigerian. When asked what part of Nigeria he hails from, he admitted he has no connection to the country, a disclosure that has deepened concerns over the use of foreign individuals in coordinated efforts to distort the global narrative surrounding Nigeria’s security challenges.
The video has resurfaced at a time when international attention on religious persecution and terrorist violence in Nigeria remains heightened. Analysts say this latest revelation underscores how sponsored campaigns and misinformation tactics continue to influence global perception of the crisis.
The footage, widely shared on social media in 2021, continues to circulate as Nigerians revisit past attempts to manipulate international advocacy spaces.
