NIGERIANS ACCOUNT FOR 90% OF CHRISTIANS KILLED WORLDWIDE ANNUALLY AS U.S. CONGRESS CLEARS TRUMP TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS ON NIGERIA

Washington, D.C. – In a move that could have far-reaching consequences for Nigeria, the U.S. Congress has given former President Donald Trump the green light to impose severe sanctions on the country following alarming reports that Nigerians make up 90% of Christians killed globally each year.

The staggering statistic, drawn from multiple international religious freedom reports, highlights the escalating persecution of Christians in Nigeria, with extremist violence, kidnappings, and mass killings becoming increasingly rampant. The U.S. government has consistently raised concerns over the Nigerian government's response to religious violence, and with this latest development, pressure is mounting for decisive action.

The proposed sanctions could have a crippling effect on Nigeria’s economy, targeting key sectors such as trade, military aid, and foreign investments. Analysts warn that such measures may lead to economic instability, strained diplomatic relations, and increased hardship for millions of Nigerians.

The Trump camp has yet to release a detailed breakdown of the sanctions package, but political observers note that the former president has been vocal about religious persecution and has historically taken a hardline stance on international religious freedom violations.

As the situation unfolds, the Nigerian government is expected to engage in high-level diplomatic efforts to avert the sanctions, with stakeholders calling for urgent action to address the security crisis and protect religious minorities in the country.
