United States President Donald Trump has been presented with a comprehensive new report detailing recent attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria, according to sources within the international advocacy community.
The document, prepared by rights groups monitoring religious violence, outlines trends and cases of violence targeting Christians in various regions of the country. It includes accounts of attacks, displacement of civilians, and alleged shortcomings in local security responses.
Those behind the report have called on Trump ,who retains significant influence within global political and policy circles ,to use his platform to raise awareness of the situation and urge stronger protection for vulnerable communities.
In response, aides to the former U.S. president confirmed that Trump has formally received the material and acknowledged its contents. His office has yet to issue a detailed public statement on the matter, but insiders suggest that Trump expressed concern over the humanitarian and security implications highlighted in the report.
The issue of religiously motivated violence in Nigeria has been the subject of ongoing debate among international observers, faith-based organisations,and foreign policymakers. Nigeria has seen recurring clashes between farmers and herders, as well as attacks by armed groups in parts of the Northeast and Middle Belt,events that rights advocates say disproportionately affect Christian populations.
Advocacy groups behind the report argue that increased global attention could galvanise diplomatic and humanitarian action. They contend that documenting patterns of violence and displacement is critical to understanding broader security challenges facing Nigeria.
While it remains unclear how the former president may act on the report’s findings, its delivery underscores the continued international engagement with security and humanitarian concerns in Nigeria. The presentation of such reports to prominent global figures highlights the emphasis organisations place on keeping these issues visible on the world stage.
