Trump Releases Fresh Statement On Attacks Against Christians In Nigeria

Former United States President Donald Trump has once again voiced his concern over the growing violence against Christians in Nigeria, calling on the international community to take a stronger stand to protect religious freedom in the country.

In a statement released on Monday through his media team, Trump described the ongoing attacks as “a humanitarian tragedy that must no longer be ignored,” urging world leaders to act swiftly to stop what he called the “systematic persecution of Christians in Nigeria.”

“It breaks my heart to see the continued slaughter of innocent Christians in Nigeria. The world must speak out and take concrete action to ensure their safety,” Trump said.

He also commended faith-based organizations that have continued to provide relief and advocacy for victims of religious violence in Nigeria, stressing that “freedom of worship is a God-given right that must be defended everywhere.”

The former U.S. president has long been vocal about religious persecution in Africa, particularly in Nigeria, where attacks on Christian communities by insurgent and bandit groups have sparked both local and international outrage.

Trump’s latest comments have drawn mixed reactions in Nigeria. While some Christian groups praised him for speaking up when many global leaders remain silent, others questioned his motives, describing his statement as politically motivated.

Observers believe Trump’s renewed interest in Nigeria’s religious crisis could influence diplomatic discussions on human rights and religious freedom between Washington and Abuja in the coming months.
