'I’m Really Angry over Christian Genocide in Nigeria' - Trump Hints at Next Move

Trump redesignated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern citing thousands of Christian deaths and criticized government inefficiency amid rising violent attacks, officials said.

  • On the Friday radio show, Donald Trump, US President, said `I think Nigeria is a disgrace` and `They're killing people by the thousands`.
  • Trump framed his actions around claims the Nigerian government failed to protect Christian communities, redesignating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern weeks ago and saying he got involved after nobody spoke up.
  • On Monday, bandits abducted 25 female students from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga, Kebbi State, killing Vice‑Principal Hassan Makuku and shooting Ali Shehu. Two days later, gunmen attacked a church in Eruku town, and on Friday, abducted over 300 students and 12 staff from St. Mary’s in Papiri.
  • Trump threatened to stop US subsidies and hinted he might halt aid unless Nigeria acts, repeating a possible military intervention if Nigeria `does not do more`; Nuhu Ribadu's delegation met Pete Hegseth and Riley Moore, whom Trump directed to investigate.
  • George Akume said it is unclear whether the spike in attacks links to Trump's actions or is coincidental, even as observers note insecurity has risen and last week Boko Haram killed a Brigadier‑General and some soldiers in Borno State.
