🎥 This video documents 🇺🇸 Bishop Wilfred Anagbe has called on the U.S. to back Nigeria’s CPC designation with real, enforceable action—urging sanctions, aid conditions, and accountability for Christian persecution.

🔍 Key Highlights from Bishop Anagbe’s Testimony:
• CPC Designation Must Lead to Action:
Speaking before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Africa, Bishop Anagbe thanked President Trump for reinstating Nigeria’s designation as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) but stressed that it must be backed by serious political, military, and humanitarian interventions.
• Call for Targeted Sanctions:
He urged lawmakers to invoke the Magnitsky Act to sanction Nigerian officials who condone or ignore Islamic violence, especially against Christians in Benue, Plateau, and Southern Kaduna.
• Humanitarian Demands:
Anagbe emphasized the need to:
• Expand aid for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
• Guarantee security for return to ancestral lands
• Support rebuilding of livelihoods, education, and sanitation infrastructure
• Expose Government Negligence:
He accused the Nigerian government of downplaying casualty figures, abandoning survivors, and enabling impunity. He cited a priest who “cannot walk” after surviving a terrorist attack.
• Legislative Support:
The Bishop endorsed the Nigerian Religious Freedom Accountability Act, calling it essential to hold perpetrators accountable and curb the violence.
• Spiritual and Moral Appeal:
“The blood of Nigerian Christians cries out to you,” he said. “America has a unique role in defending religious freedom globally. We cannot afford to wait any longer.”
