Founder of the Christian NGO Equipping the Persecuted denounced the US Nigerian President’s callous response in a statement to TruthNigeria.com Friday: “We know who is responsible for attacks,” said Judd Saul, founder of ETP “It’s same Fulani Terrorists that have been killing Christians for the last 20 years. We know where they are. We know who they are. So does the Nigerian government. How many more innocent Christians need to die before Tinubu takes action to protect the innocent citizens of Nigeria?”
Although the U.S. Mission in Abuja condemned the Christmas attacks Christians in a tweet on Tuesday, the Human Rights community denounced the tepid comment in scathing tweets Friday. Save the Persecuted Christians tweeted: “Tell @secBlinken to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. And send an investigation team to Plateau and the IDP Camps and report your findings. The persecution of Christians in Nigeria must be compelled to end. @officialABAT is liable.” STPC tweeted in a follow-up: “This isn’t a clash between herders and farmers due to climate. It is religious TERRORISM, and the government of Nigeria @official ABAT is complicit as are YOU @SecBlinken.”
The United States Diplomatic Mission in Nigeria said in a social media post on Wednesday that it condemns the recent attacks across Plateau communities that left nearly 200 persons dead.
“It is imperative that those responsible for these heinous attacks are held accountable,” the U.S. authorities urged the Nigerian government while expressing “heartfelt condolences for the tragic loss of life.”
President Bola Tinubu who came to office in May has assured that he is all out to fight the armed gangs, commonly called bandits, that terrorize Nigerians, as he seeks to boost foreign investment in Africa’s most populous country.
