United States President Donald Trump says the US military has ended killings of Christians in Nigeria.
Trump made this claim on Friday at an event in Washington, where he spoke about his administration’s security operations and efforts to combat terrorism across different regions.
The US President said America’s intervention in Nigeria played a major role in stopping 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 said.
The Republican said the situation in Nigeria before the strikes was severe, claiming that a lot of innocent people 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, hacked to death,” he added.
