US President Donald Trump says he has directed the Defence Department to draw up plans for possible military action in Nigeria, warning that Washington may intervene if Abuja “continues to allow the killing of Christians.”
The US government will also immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Trump said the US may “very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the … Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”
“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” he further wrote in the post.
