Some Nigerian social media influencers have raised alarm over attempts to offer them cash to deny Church attacks. The messages target small accounts, urging them to quote-tweet denials of a 'Christian genocide,' calling graphic videos of attacks AI fakes and questioning U.S. help.
This comes amid real violence, like gunmen killing two in a Kaduna church on November 19 and terrorists abducting a pastor in Kwara. Nigeria's government calls it banditry affecting all, not targeted persecution, while Open Doors ranks the country second for Christian attacks worldwide. Online backlash demands recruiters be exposed, highlighting heated debates over the crisis.
