Christian Genocide: A Glance at Amupitan’s Legal Brief Without attacking his person , the article revisits Prof. Amupitan’s 2020 legal brief on “Christian genocide” in Nigeria with fairness, evidence and context. It attempts to correct the serious inaccuracies that have misled a number of politicians and clerics overseas. Prof. Amupitan’s brief was written for foreign advocacy groups, not Nigerians. Its tone reflects that audience. I identified in it 49 statements that are exaggerated, unsupported or historically inaccurate. Many of them unfairly demonise Hausa/Fulani Muslims and distort the realities of ethno-religious conflicts in the country. Contrary to the brief, data shows that Muslims form the overwhelming majority of victims of Boko Haram and banditry. The brief also ignored decades of documented Christian massacres against Muslims in Plateau, Taraba and Southern Kaduna especially. These and many others items are discussed in great depth. The 49 statements that I find spurious in the brief are also listed as appendix. In addressing our sensitive national matters, we must tell the truth that will unite us and guarantee peace for all, not sectarian narratives that defy balance, fairness and evidence.
