United States lawmakers have introduced a new legislation aimed at increasing accountability for human rights abuses in Nigeria, including potential sanctions against Fulani militias and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso. According to the lawmakers, the proposed legislation seeks to strengthen the impact of previous US actions in Nigeria. “Today, I am proud to introduce the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026 with Rep.
