US Congress Moves to Sanction Kwankwaso? Inside the Religious Freedom Bill Targeting Nigeria

A fresh political storm is brewing between Washington and Abuja as members of the U.S. House of Representatives introduce the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026 (H.R. 7457) — a bill that could pave the way for sanctions against Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. The proposed legislation calls for possible visa bans and asset freezes under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, citing concerns over religious violence in Nigeria. But supporters of Kwankwaso and the NNPP have strongly rejected the allegations, calling the move politically motivated and an attack on Nigeria’s sovereignty. Is this about human rights accountability — or international political pressure? What evidence exists? And what could this mean for Nigeria–U.S. relations? In this detailed report, we break down the bill, the accusations, the reactions from Nigeria, and what could happen next. Stay informed.
