Arise TV presenter Rufai Oseni has condemned Bishop Matthew Kukah following the Catholic bishop’s viral recent remarks denying an ongoing genocide or persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
Bishop Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese and Convener of the National Peace Committee (NPC), had recently argued that claims of Christian persecution are exaggerated.
He stated that genocide should be determined by intent rather than the number of casualties, a comment that has sparked outrage among Nigerians.
Oseni Criticizes Kukah’s Comments
In response, Oseni criticized the bishop’s controversial claim that “you can kill 10 million people and it will not be genocide,” describing it as insensitive and dismissive of the realities faced by Christians in Nigeria.
Referencing Specific Incidents
Oseni drew attention to specific cases of violence against Christians, particularly in states where Bishop Kukah once served.
He wrote: “I heard a man of the cloth say you can kill 10m and it will not be genocide.
Ask that man of God, wasn’t it in his state that Deborah was killed?
Ask that man of God what happened to “Thou shalt not kill.”
Ask that man of God what happened to Ven Achi just because he was a clergyman.
Remind the man of God about Pastor Martin Niemöller’s quote:
First they came for the Communists.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me.
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.”
