Trump’s threat: United States House Of Reps reel out resolutions on Christian killings in Nigeria, provide proofs
The United States House of Representatives is considering a resolution condemning the persecution and killings of Christians in Nigeria.
The resolution also supports President Donald Trump’s decision to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) due to serious religious freedom violations.
Submitted by Representative Riley M Moore of West Virginia, the document highlights data showing widespread violence and urges a stronger US response, including diplomatic, security and economic pressure on Nigeria’s government.
Moore shared the six-page long resolution on his X handle.
The resolution describes the situation as one of the worst in the world for Christians since the Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009.
According to it, “between 50,000 and 100,000 Christians have been martyred for their faith since 2009, with more than 7,000 killed in 2025 alone, an average of 35 every day.”
“More than 19,000 churches have been attacked or destroyed.
“In Benue and Plateau States alone, more than 9,500 people, mostly Christians, were killed between May 2023 and May 2025 by Fulani militants.”
“Christians in Nigeria are being killed at a rate at least five times higher than Muslims.”
The attacks, it alleged, are not random or merely intercommunal, but deliberate campaigns of religious cleansing.
The groups named as responsible include Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants, who are accused of carrying out massacres, church burnings, kidnappings, and sexual violence.
The resolution supports President Trump’s October 31, 2025, move to redesignate Nigeria as a CPC.
The measure allows Washington to impose sanctions and take diplomatic steps against Nigeria over religious persecution.
It accuses President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of continuing to deny the existence of religious persecution, despite extensive reports of violence.
The resolution urges the US government to use all available diplomatic, economic, and security tools to push the Nigerian government to “end impunity for perpetrators of religiously motivated violence, protect Christian communities and clergy from further attacks.”
The resolution also pushes for the repeal of blasphemy laws and the release of all prisoners detained for their faith.
It affirmed that the United States stands in solidarity with Christians and will defend their right to practice their faith without fear of persecution, violence, or even death.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
