BREAKING NEWS: Trump blasts Tinubu, calls Nigeria “disgraced country”, threatens to invade Nigeria with US troops
President Donald Trump of the Untied States of America, USA, has threatened military action in Nigeria over ‘killing of Christians’.
Trump had, on Friday, said that Christians in Nigeria are facing an “existential threat,” calling on American lawmakers to investigate “mass slaughter”.
In fact, named Nigeria a “country of particular concern” – a State Department designation for nations “engaged in severe violations of religious freedom.”
Reacting, President Bola Tinubu dismissed the description of Nigeria as a nation hostile to religious freedom, insisting that the country remains committed to protecting the rights of citizens of all faiths.
Tinubu said: “Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so. Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it.”

Sanusi criticised the way people who misuse public office are treated, saying they are often celebrated instead...
