The Florida House of Representatives has passed a resolution condemning the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, highlighting the alarming levels of violence against this religious group since the onset of Boko Haram's insurgency in 2009. The resolution cites that approximately 52,250 Christians have been murdered, with more than 19,000 churches attacked or destroyed. It emphasizes the systematic targeting of Christian communities by groups such as Boko Haram and Fulani militants, resulting in significant displacement, with over 5 million Christians forced into refugee camps.

Furthermore, the resolution supports the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom's recommendation for Nigeria to be redesignated as a Country of Particular Concern due to the egregious violations of religious freedom that have persisted for years. The Florida House of Representatives expresses its solidarity with persecuted Christians in Nigeria and calls for increased awareness and action to address these human rights abuses.
