Introduction At last, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has taken the decision he had long planned against Nigeria, following complaints by some Nigerian Christians who alleged that they were victims of religious persecution in the country. Trump had once placed a similar sanction on Nigeria during his first term, but after he lost the election to Joe Biden, Biden reversed that “rash and unfair” decision. This new ruling, however, demands that Nigeria take certain actions in line with America’s interests — or face a series of sanctions. For example, these “American interests” could include the following: 1. Any Nigerian state practicing Sharia Law must abolish it. 2.

From 2013 to 2025, Boko Haram, ISWAP, and armed bandits have repeatedly targeted Muslim worshippers during sacred moments of prayer. Below is a timeline of some of the most heinous incidents: Major Attacks on Mosques and Muslim ...
