One recurring misconception in Nigeria’s public discourse is the belief that prosecution for criminal offences is either automatic or time-barred. Both assumptions are wrong.

Under Nigerian law, the decision to prosecute is, in the first instance, discretionary, and criminal liability does not evaporate with the passage of time. Crime has no expiry date.

Most Reverend Matthew Kukah has spoken again. This time, he tells Nigerians that the country is not experiencing a Christian genocide. He cites numbers, he questions sources, and he dismisses claims of persecution.

He reminds us that genocide is defined by intent, not by pools of blood and burnt out churches. The bishop speaks as if death can be measured only by some theological precision. He speaks as if suffering requires validation from the Vatican. He speaks as if the cries of widows, orphans, and Christian communities terrorised across northern Nigeria are hearsay unless confirmed by his office.
