Donald Trump Condemns Killings Of Nigerian Christians in Meeting with Buhari
The United States President Donald Trump has told President Muhammau Buhari in strong terms that his country will not accept the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
“We have had very serious problems with Christians who are being murdered in Nigeria, we are going to be working on that problem very, very hard because we cannot allow that to happen,” Trump said.
On his part, Buhari said he is working hard to address the problem. He also thanked the US government for approving the sale of military hardware to Nigeria.
The clash between farmers and herdsmen took a different turn when gunmen invaded a Catholic church in Benue state last week.
Two priests and 17 worshipers were shot dead. Condemning the attack the Pope prayed for Christians while conducting a mass in Rome on Sunday.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had staged a nationwide protest against the killings on Sunday.
