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 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’s Moves on Nigeria Driven by Oil, Says Bakare

Pastor Tunde Bakare has claimed that President Donald Trump’s decision to list Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and speak of Christian genocide is tied to a strategic push for Nigeria’s oil and other key assets. Speaking during a State of the Nation Address in Lagos, he said the Trump administration sees Nigeria’s oil wealth, mineral resources, real estate and role in emerging technologies as central to its foreign and economic agenda.​ Bakare said he believed Trump’s interest in Nigeria was confirmed by a vision he had shortly after Trump’s 2024 election victory, in which the US leader arrived in Lagos dressed in traditional Arab clothing and declared, “We are here now.” He interpreted this as a sign of deep economic and geopolitical interest linked to Middle East politics, oil and gas, property and Nigeria’s growing technology ecosystem, with […]

 Bandits Rampage Across Kogi, Kano, Sokoto, Kwara

Bandits have launched fresh attacks across four Nigerian states, abducting worshippers, a monarch, a bride and her bridal party, and other residents, while killing at least one woman and demanding huge ransoms. The coordinated wave of violence in Kogi, Kano, Sokoto and Kwara has renewed public anger over worsening insecurity and perceived gaps in government response.​ In Kogi State, gunmen stormed a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Ejiba, Yagba West Local Government Area, during a service, firing shots and forcing worshippers to flee in panic. The pastor, known as Orlando, his wife and several congregants were taken away, though the exact number of abducted persons remains unclear.​ Kogi’s Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, said state authorities and security agencies had intensified a manhunt for the attackers and promised that all abducted worshippers would be rescued alive. He urged residents to […]

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Congressman Bill Huizenga accused President Tinubu’s government of “sitting back” as insecurity rose. Lawmakers and State Department officials cited mass killings, targeted attacks by radical groups, and criticized Abuja for not doing enough or downplaying the crisis. Concerns were raised about a halted youth peacebuilding program and calls for rethinking U.S. aid to Nigeria. Recommendations included accountability for leaders, deeper scrutiny, and assistance focused on technical support and long-term reforms. Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]

U.S. Congress Highlights Alleged Christian Genocide in Nigeria

At a recent U.S. congressional hearing, lawmakers spotlighted alleged genocide and violent persecution of Christians in Nigeria, urging the Nigerian government to strengthen religious freedom, prosecute perpetrators, and secure lives and property. Congressman Riley Moore met Nigeria’s NSA Nuhu Ribadu and security chiefs in Washington, pressing for counterterrorism, security aid, and protection for vulnerable communities. U.S. State Department officials stressed that thousands of Christians have been killed over two years, citing attacks by Fulani militants and Boko Haram, and warned of humanitarian catastrophe if violence continues unchecked. President Trump and Congress pledged serious resolve to end religiously motivated violence and urged Nigeria to cooperate in joint response efforts. Bishop Wilfred Anagbe called Nigeria “the deadliest place to be a Christian,” with attacks intensifying and little accountability, risking the near-erasure of Christianity in affected regions. Nigerian officials discussed security challenges and […]

PFN Slams Gumi’s ‘Staged Funerals’ Comments as Insensitive and Irresponsible

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has strongly condemned Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi’s recent allegations that Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are staging funerals to fabricate claims of genocide. In a statement by PFN National Publicity Secretary Dr. Sylvanus Ukafia, the Christian body called Gumi’s claim “baseless, inflammatory, and morally reprehensible,” dismissing the idea as illogical and unsupported by any credible evidence. Gumi had alleged that Christians were burying empty coffins to create a false narrative of targeted killings. PFN rebuffed this, explaining that funerals in Nigerian culture—whether Christian, Muslim, or traditional—are communal, deeply rooted rites not prone to fraudulent staging. The group argued that such a scheme would be impossible to conceal, as public burials require real families and witnesses. PFN accused Gumi of spreading misinformation to trivialize genuine suffering and undermine documented terrorist violence in the region. […]

CAN Accuses Presidency of Distorting Its Stance on Christian Killings

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has publicly accused the Presidency of misrepresenting its position on the killings of Christians in the country, leading to a dispute after a meeting meant to foster dialogue. CAN stated that it did not, at any point, dismiss the violence as a "so-called Christian genocide," contrary to a press release from the President's media aide, Daniel Bwala. The association insists that the persistent, organized attacks on Christian communities in Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt amount to a "Christian genocide." CAN expressed deep disappointment, stating that the Presidency's report was "completely false and grossly unfair." They clarified that their position remains unchanged and that the government's portrayal trivializes the pain of the victims. The Christian body is now calling on the Federal Government and security agencies to act with urgency and transparency to halt […]
