US Congress Launches Sweeping Investigation into Nigeria’s Alleged Christian Genocide

The United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa will convene a public hearing on November 20, 2025, to investigate allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria and review President Donald Trump’s move to redesignate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC). This label, pending Senate approval, could authorize sanctions against Nigerian officials implicated in religious repression and restrict certain US-Nigeria partnerships. Chaired by Representative Chris Smith, the session features panels of senior US State Department officials and Nigerian faith leaders, including Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of Makurdi Catholic Diocese. Testimonies will address rising attacks on Christian communities, mass displacement, and killings attributed to Islamist militants and armed groups. President Tinubu has firmly rejected the genocide characterization, asserting Nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom, while US lawmakers weigh options ranging from humanitarian aid to sanctions and potential military action. The investigation was […]

BBC Apologises to Trump Over Panorama Edit but Refuses Compensation

The BBC has formally apologised to former US President Donald Trump for an episode of Panorama that edited and spliced segments of his 6 January 2021 speech, admitting it gave “the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action.” The corporation said it will not re-air the 2024 programme but rejected Trump’s demand for a $1bn compensation, citing no legal basis for a defamation claim. Lawyers for Trump have threatened to sue the BBC unless it issues a retraction, apology, and financial compensation, but the BBC insisted the edit was not designed to mislead and did not cause Trump harm as he was later re-elected. The documentary, restricted to UK viewers, was only 12 seconds of an hour-long programme. The fallout led to the resignation of top BBC executives. The apology follows fresh revelations of […]

US Congress seeks visa bans, asset freezes on Miyetti Allah

A new bill introduced in the United States Congress seeks to impose visa bans and asset freezes on members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over alleged violations of religious freedom against Christians in Nigeria. The bill, sponsored by Representative Christopher Smith, follows the U.S. re-designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act — a status given to countries accused of serious violations of religious freedom. Smith praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the decision, which came amid growing tensions between Washington and Abuja over allegations of religious persecution. The Nigerian Federal Government, however, dismissed any panic, saying it has opened diplomatic discussions with the U.S. to address the concerns. Information Minister Mohammed Idris said after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting that Nigeria […]

Baba-Ahmed urges Tinubu to address Nigerians on Trump’s threat

Former Presidential Adviser, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has urged President Bola Tinubu to personally address Nigerians following the recent military threat issued by United States President Donald Trump. In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, Baba-Ahmed expressed worry over the President’s continued silence after Trump accused Nigeria of allowing the killing of Christians and warned of a possible U.S. military response. He said the President’s failure to speak directly to Nigerians could be perceived as a sign of weakness at a time when decisive leadership and reassurance are needed. “If President Tinubu truly has capable advisers and understands the weight of his office, he should have spoken to Nigerians by now,” Baba-Ahmed said. “This is not the time for ministers or aides to issue statements. The President himself should reassure the country, clarify Nigeria’s position, and outline the steps […]

US military drafts intervention plan for Nigeria amid Trump’s genocide claims

The United States military has reportedly developed plans for possible intervention in Nigeria following President Donald Trump’s claim that a “Christian genocide” is taking place in the country. Trump recently said on social media that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” alleging that thousands of Christians have been killed by “radical Islamists.” He then directed the Pentagon to prepare an intervention plan. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately responded, instructing the Africa Command (AFRICOM) to submit operational options for possible strikes. According to reports, AFRICOM, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, has presented three options — light, medium, and heavy — outlining escalating levels of military involvement. Light OptionThe light option involves “partner-enabled operations,” where the US military and State Department would assist Nigerian forces in targeting Boko Haram and other insurgent groups operating mainly in northern Nigeria.Under this plan, […]

Russia may resume nuclear tests after Trump’s remarks – Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia may consider resuming nuclear tests if the United States proceeds with similar actions. He made this known on Wednesday during a meeting of Russia’s Security Council, convened in response to comments by US President Donald Trump. The statement adds a new chapter to the rising nuclear tension between the two largest nuclear powers, as both leaders continue to clash over global security issues and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Putin instructed Russia’s defence and foreign ministries, along with security agencies, to gather intelligence and prepare proposals on the “possible start of preparation works for nuclear weapons tests.” Russia last conducted a nuclear test in 1990, a year before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Trump had posted on social media last week that he had directed the Pentagon to “start testing our […]

Nigeria Rejects Claims of Religious Persecution

The Nigerian government has dismissed claims of religious persecution, saying the country’s constitution guarantees freedom of religion for all citizens. Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar made this clear during a press conference in Berlin on Tuesday, following remarks by former US President Donald Trump, who had threatened military intervention over the alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria. “There can’t be a religious persecution that can be supported in any way, shape or form by the government of Nigeria at any level,” Tuggar said. Trump had written on social media that he asked the Pentagon to plan a possible military response, claiming “Christians are being killed in large numbers.” Tuggar stressed that Nigeria remains committed to religious freedom and the rule of law. He noted that the country’s many conflicts affect both Christians and Muslims, not one group alone. Nigeria, Africa’s most […]

South Korea eyes nuclear submarine launch by late 2030s after US approval

South Korea could launch its first nuclear-powered submarine by the late 2030s, a senior defence ministry official said Tuesday, days after the United States approved Seoul’s plan to move forward with development. The announcement follows remarks by US President Donald Trump, who said he had given Washington’s ally a “green light” for the project after the two countries reached a broad deal covering investment and shipbuilding. Trump, speaking during a regional summit in Seoul, wrote on Truth Social that South Korea would manufacture its submarine “in the Philadelphia Shipyards, right here in the good ol’ U.S.A.” U.S. nuclear submarine technology is among the most tightly guarded military secrets, making Washington’s approval a significant milestone for Seoul. Unlike diesel-powered submarines, which must surface periodically to recharge batteries, nuclear-powered vessels can remain submerged for extended periods, offering major strategic advantages. Seoul has […]
