Trump Says Christians Face ‘Existential Threat’ in Nigeria

Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that Christians in Nigeria are facing an “existential threat,” urging American lawmakers to investigate what he described as a “mass slaughter” in the country. Trump made the statement on Friday via his Truth Social platform, alleging that “radical Islamists” were behind widespread killings of Christians, though he provided no evidence to support his claims. “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter,” Trump wrote.

Nigerian Leaders Reject US Senator’s Insurgency Sponsorship Claim

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri, alongside a US former mayor and a top Islamic leader, has strongly rejected US Senator Ted Cruz's allegation that the Nigerian government sponsors Boko Haram insurgency. At a press conference in Abuja, Omokri described the claim as "false, unfair, and lacking any credible evidence." He challenged Senator Cruz to provide proof and name any officials allegedly involved, stating that such accusations damage Nigeria's image and counterterrorism efforts. Former Republican Mayor of Blanco, Texas, Mike Arnold, emphasized that Christians and Muslims in Nigeria are united against a common enemy—terrorism.

US Mayor Questions Nigeria’s Anti-Terrorism Strategy During Fact-Finding Visit

Mike Arnold, the Republican Mayor of Blanco, Texas, has criticised Nigeria’s approach to combating terrorism, questioning why the country seeks financial assistance from the United States while rejecting foreign input on security issues. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday, Arnold said he found Nigeria’s stance contradictory. “I don’t understand why a nation that is mineral-rich as Nigeria has to go and beg for help to save her own people,” he said. “Nigeria has plenty of resources to help her people get at least something where they can help get stability. Displaced people are denied stability, their homes are bulldozed with no warning. It is horrific. You don’t want America to come here and speak on terrorism, but you want their money — that does not make sense to me whatsoever.” Arnold’s comments came during a fact-finding mission organised […]
