According to the appeal, Christian populations in several parts of Nigeria continue to face deadly assaults, with reports of killings, destruction of villages, and forced displacement becoming increasingly frequent. Community representatives say the situation has deteriorated to a point where local efforts and national responses have failed to provide adequate protection or accountability, deepening fear among vulnerable populations.
The Nigerian Christian leader emphasized that the violence is not isolated but part of a sustained pattern that threatens religious freedom and social stability in Africa’s most populous nation. By appealing to Donald Trump, the representatives hope to leverage his international profile and political influence to mobilize broader global concern and diplomatic pressure.
The appeal also underscores a demand for stronger international intervention, urging foreign governments and global institutions to press Nigerian authorities to take decisive action against extremist groups. The representatives argue that without external scrutiny and pressure, the cycle of violence, displacement, and humanitarian suffering is likely to continue unabated.
Nigeria has long struggled with security challenges linked to Islamist militant groups, and the renewed appeal highlights the enduring impact of these conflicts on civilian communities. As international attention shifts rapidly from one crisis to another, Nigerian Christian leaders say sustained global engagement is crucial to preventing further loss of life and ensuring long-term stability in the region.
