US lawmaker: Christians suffer most from Nigeria’s violence, urges Trump to act

United States lawmaker Riley Moore says Christians have borne the overwhelming brunt of violent attacks in Nigeria for over 20 years and urged President Donald Trump to take decisive action.​ Moore said insecurity affects people of all faiths but insisted that Christians are disproportionately targeted. He claimed Christians are about five times more likely to be killed than any other religious group and accused Fulani militias and terrorist organisations of repeatedly attacking Christian communities, pastors and priests, and burning schools and churches, often on holy days.​ He praised Trump’s readiness to defend Christians globally and described the current moment as a once in a generation opportunity to deepen US–Nigeria relations while confronting the crisis. He acknowledged that Nigeria needs support to tackle insecurity but said President Bola Tinubu’s government must show stronger political will.​ Moore argued that any future bilateral […]

US Congress lists steps to tackle Christian persecution in Nigeria

The United States Congress has outlined a series of measures it says are needed to tackle the growing persecution of Christians and wider insecurity in Nigeria. Lawmakers recommended reforms in security, justice, financial oversight and foreign policy as part of a broader strategy.​ The proposals follow a report prepared for President Donald Trump by a congressional panel he set up to investigate the situation of Christians in Nigeria. Congress urged the president to formally classify Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, name and shame perpetrators of attacks, impose sanctions on them and keep enforcing visa bans.​ The report describes Nigeria as one of the deadliest places in the world to be a Christian and cites years of violent attacks, killings, kidnappings and the destruction of churches and schools by armed groups, including Fulani militias and terrorist organisations. Lawmakers said […]

US lawmaker warns separatist push could hurt Christians

United States Congressman Riley M. Moore has rejected claims that Washington supports any move to break up Nigeria, warning that separatist campaigns would worsen insecurity and put Christian communities in greater danger.​ In a post on his verified X account, Moore said he travelled to Nigeria and held high level meetings with government officials, church leaders, aid groups and internally displaced persons to better understand the persecution of Christians. He noted that during all these engagements, the idea of dividing Nigeria “did not come up in any serious way.”​ Moore warned that efforts to embolden separatists would hurt Christians, especially in the North and Middle Belt. He argued that weakening Nigeria’s unity would destabilise the country, embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe both in Nigeria and across Africa.​ The congressman pledged to continue advocating for victims of terrorism and […]

Trump Threatens Military Action in Nigeria Over Christian Killings

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened possible military action against Nigeria, accusing the country’s government of allowing the killing of Christians. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, Trump warned that the United States could intervene militarily if the Nigerian government fails to stop what he called “mass slaughter” of Christians by Islamist groups. “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump wrote. He added, “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians.” […]

Nigeria Rejects Trump’s ‘Country of Concern’ Tag Over Alleged Christian Killings

The Federal Government of Nigeria has rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s designation of the country as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged widespread killings of Christians, describing the claim as false, exaggerated, and misleading. In a statement released on Saturday, Kimiebi Ebienfa, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Trump’s assertions do not reflect Nigeria’s realities. Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Friday, alleged that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” claiming that thousands of Christians were being killed by “radical Islamists.” “Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ — but that is the least of it,” Trump said, adding that the United States “must act” to protect Christians worldwide. Responding, the Nigerian government emphasized that […]

Northern Christian group urges US to reconsider Nigeria sanctions

The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) has appealed to the United States government and its lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, to reconsider the move to label Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged Christian persecution. In a statement on Wednesday, the group said that while it acknowledges the reality of Christian killings in parts of northern Nigeria, such a designation could harm ongoing national efforts to promote peace and unity. The NCYP warned that the proposed action, though well-intentioned, might undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives aimed at fostering inclusivity and reconciliation across religious and ethnic lines. The group praised President Tinubu for appointing Christians, especially from northern Nigeria, to key administrative and security positions. According to the NCYP’s National Public Relations Officer, Christian Oda, this demonstrates the president’s commitment to fairness and national unity. “This conviction is […]
