The Chinese government has dismissed allegations that it has provided financial support to terrorist organizations in Nigeria, in order to gain access to valuable mineral reserves. The Times, a British newspaper, recently published a report suggesting that Chinese nationals working as informal miners in the Zamfara region may be acting as intermediaries for militant groups. The report claims that through illegal transactions and bribery, China may be indirectly supporting terrorism in Africa’s largest economy. However, the Chinese government has denied these accusations and maintains that it is committed to promoting peace and stability in the region.
In response to recent allegations against Chinese companies operating in Nigeria, the Chinese embassy in Nigeria issued a statement on Monday, dismissing the claims as “unproven information” and “totally irresponsible and unethical”. The embassy reiterated China’s commitment to addressing development and security-related issues in the country and stressed that it has always encouraged Chinese companies and nationals to comply with local laws and regulations on labor, environment, health and safety. The embassy further stated that China would continue to make efforts towards this goal.
