<p>PRNigeria reported earlier today that BBC Global Disinformation unit had exposed the role of one Emeka Umeagbalasi in the amplification of the misleading claim of Christian genocide in Nigeria by the U.S president Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Who is Emeka Umeagbalasi?</p>
<p>Nigerian Tracker News has gathered that the said Emeka Umeagbalasi is an indigene of Anambra state from the Southeastern part of Nigeria. He was born in 1968, and he is the founder of Intersociety–a platform which he uses to promote and advocate for the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB). He is also known as an activist and a trained criminologist.</p><div class="Utcv2JLr" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>PRNigeria disclosed that a recent investigation by the BBC Global Disinformation Unit has cast serious doubt on claims of a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, revealing how the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) and allied Igbo ethnic advocacy groups propagated inflated figures and unverified narratives that have reverberated across international political and religious circles.</p>

<p>The report, titled “Are Christians Being Persecuted in Nigeria as Trump Claims?”, was authored by Olaronke Alo and Chiamaka Enendu of the BBC Global Disinformation Unit, alongside Lagos-based journalist Ijeoma Ndukwe. It scrutinizes the origins and credibility of claims that over 125,000 Christians have been killed and 19,000 churches destroyed in Nigeria since 2009—figures widely cited by U.S. conservative media and politicians, including Congressman Riley Moore.</p>
<p>When contacted by the BBC, Intersociety failed to provide itemized data or verifiable sources to substantiate its casualty claims. Instead, the organization, Intersociety, accused the BBC of being politically compromised.</p>
<p>PRNigeria disclosed that BBC’s findings suggest that Intersociety’s methodology lacks transparency and raises serious concerns about the intent behind its reporting.</p>
<p>Despite the absence of credible evidence, these claims gained traction in U.S. political discourse, culminating in President Donald Trump labeling Nigeria a “country of particular concern” and threatening military action over what he described as a “Christian genocide.”</p>
<p>Intersociety and similar groups have consistently framed violence in Nigeria as targeted jihadist attacks against Christians, often attributing blame to Fulani herders and Islamist militants.</p>
<p>However, independent conflict monitoring organizations such as the Armed Conflict Location &; Event Data Project (ACLED) report that violence in Nigeria is multifaceted, affecting communities across religious and ethnic lines without clear evidence of a systematic campaign against Christians alone.</p>
<p>The BBC notes that many of these advocacy groups are rooted in southeastern Nigeria, where ethnic and religious identity politics are deeply intertwined. Their narratives often reflect broader grievances about political marginalization and perceived federal neglect, particularly among the Igbo population.</p>
<p>While Intersociety presents itself as a non-profit, non-government-funded organization, its advocacy has largely centered on Igbo Christian interests. It has also been a vocal supporter of Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), framing government actions against the separatist group as religious and ethnic persecution.</p>
<p>The BBC’s investigation underscores the dangers of politicized and unverified data in conflict reporting. By framing complex intercommunal violence as a one-sided genocide, advocacy groups risk inflaming tensions, distorting international perceptions, and undermining efforts at reconciliation and peacebuilding.</p>
