Nigerian Singer Orezi Condemns Rising Impunity in the Country Nigerian singer Orezi has taken to social media to express his deep frustration over the growing culture of impunity in Nigeria, as well as the international community's increasing concern over the country's handling of religious violence. In a recent Instagram post, Orezi shared a disturbing video of U.S. officials discussing the brutal murder of Deborah Samuel, a Nigerian student who was lynched in Sokoto in 2022 for alleged blasphemy. The U.S. representatives in the video called for Nigeria to be added to the "Country of Concern" list, citing the government's failure to ensure justice for victims of religious violence and intolerance. Orezi's post was a scathing critique of the Nigerian government's response to these heinous crimes. "The recklessness needs to stop," he wrote. "We cannot continue to live in a country where human life means nothing. Justice must not only be done – it must be seen to be done." By sharing this video and his powerful message, Orezi is joining a growing chorus of voices calling for accountability and justice in Nigeria. As the international community continues to watch and wait, it remains to be seen whether the Nigerian government will take meaningful steps to address these pressing issues.
