Nigerian Christians living in the United States have urged Nigeria’s Federal Government to refrain from reintegrating people suspected of terrorism back into society unless they are tried in court. The Christian Association of Nigerian Americans (CANAN) states that any person accused of terrorism should go through Nigeria’s judicial process in line with the country’s laws. CANAN officials made the call during a virtual press briefing held via Zoom, where they also linked the position to broader issues of security reforms and religious freedom. According to the accounts, CANAN leadership said the approach of reintegration without trial risks bypassing due process. The group’s statements reflect its stance on how counter-terror measures should balance public safety with legal procedure and rights. The briefing is presented as a response to ongoing discussions in Nigeria about how suspects are handled after detention or identification, with CANAN calling for trial as a prerequisite to any community return.
