In a series of posts on X between October 31 and November 1, Trump had condemned continued killings targeting Christians in Nigeria, declaring America’s readiness to send its military to Nigeria if the federal government failed to stop the killings by jihadist groups.
His position had sparked divergent reactions from both the federal government and prominent Nigerian leaders and religious organisations.
The federal government, particularly, rejected Trump’s allegations, insisting that the country’s insecurity affects all religious groups.
