Ogoni Cleanup At 10: FG Unveils Phase 2 Of Shoreline And Mangrove Restoration
OpenLife Nigeria reports that the United States has announced new visa restrictions targeting Nigerians accused of undermining religious freedom.
A post on X by Marco Rubio, secretary of state, said the restrictions will affect those who “knowingly direct, authorize, fund, support, or carry out violations of religious freedom.”
Overtime, the diplomatic tensions between the US and Nigeria have spiralled from muted strain to open confrontation. Trump — who has accused the Nigerian government of ignoring “Christian genocide” in the country — has now gone beyond remarks to issuing a threat of military action.
“If the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the United States of America, USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing’, to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump wrote.
“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!”
Almost instantly, Pete Hegseth, US secretary of war, responded, saying his department is preparing for possible action.
