Kano Protesters Take To Streets To Reject Trump’s Allegations Of Christian Genocide

Massive protests erupted in Kano State on Saturday as Islamic groups marched to denounce U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statements on Nigeria’s security situation.

Demonstrators flooded the streets with placards reading “We condemn Trump’s threat to attack Nigeria,” “There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria,” and “America wants to control our resources,” rejecting claims of a Christian genocide in the country.

Trump had earlier labeled Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged persecution of Christians and warned that the U.S. military could step in if the killings continued.

The Nigerian government has dismissed these allegations, describing them as false, misleading, and an attempt to misrepresent the country’s security challenges.
