United States President Donald Trump has claimed that the US military has ended the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
Trump made the remark on Friday during an event in Washington, where he spoke about his administration’s security operations and efforts to combat terrorism in different parts of the world.
According to the US President, American intervention in Nigeria played a major role in halting attacks allegedly targeted at Christian communities, particularly in areas affected by insurgency and violent extremist activities.
“As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations.
He described the situation before the alleged intervention as severe, claiming that thousands of innocent people, including women, children and the elderly, had been killed in brutal attacks.
“They have a great Christian population. They were being butchered, butchered thousands and thousands of people were being killed, children, women, old people, just being slaughtered, hatched to death.
Trump added that the alleged military action significantly weakened those responsible for the attacks.
“They know that if they go further, the attack will be far greater and that they don’t want to really get involved anymore so much. We hit them very hard. We knocked out their leader. We knocked out their second leader and their third leader.”
