The Ratel Penal Code

I hope the EFCC is cool with this🧐

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has introduced the "Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025" (S. 11), a bill that seeks to hold Nigerian officials accountable for the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities, specifically by targeting those who facilitate Islamist violence and enforce Sharia and blasphemy laws.
Detailed Summary
Designation of Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC): The core of the legislation requires the U.S. Secretary of State to officially designate Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" for engaging in or tolerating "systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom".
Imposition of Sanctions: The Act mandates the President to impose sanctions, under existing executive orders, on specific Nigerian officials and entities found to be responsible for, or complicit in, the human rights abuses linked to the criminalization of blasphemy and the imposition of religious laws. These potential sanctions could impact a range of officials, including some state governors.
Targeting Specific Groups: The bill also requires the designation of Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa as "Entities of Particular Concern" (EPC).
Accountability Measures: The legislation is designed to "lock in" the CPC designation and impose "real costs" on Nigerian officials who have "facilitated and created an environment conducive to the outrages in Nigeria".
Objective: Senator Cruz stated that the goal is to place direct pressure on the Nigerian government to stop the persecution of Christians and other minorities and to enforce the secular state anticipated by the Nigerian constitution, which some argue has been undermined by the adoption of Sharia law in 12 northern states.
Status
The bill (S. 11) was introduced in the Senate and has been referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for consideration. Its current status beyond this committee review is not specified in the search results, though Cruz has vowed to advance the legislation. The introduction of this bill follows and aims to reinforce a "Country of Particular Concern" designation that was made by then-President Donald Trump's administration in 2020 but later removed by the Biden administration in 2021.
