HR 7457

This bill, the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, requires the U.S. government to produce a detailed report on its efforts to address religious persecution and mass atrocities occurring in Nigeria. It specifically focuses on violence perpetrated by groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani-ethnic militias against Christians and other religious minorities, demanding increased diplomatic, humanitarian, and security pressure on the Nigerian government to end impunity and protect vulnerable communities. The bill also seeks to impose sanctions on individuals and entities involved in these abuses and to assess the impact of U.S. security assistance.
