A Nigerian Catholic Priest, Fada Angelo Chidi Unegbu, has backed President Donald Trump’s decision to tackle the killing of Christians in the West African giant.
Trump recently designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” and vowed military intervention to end what he termed the persecution of and genocide against Christians in the country.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Sunday, Fada Angelo claimed that he had in the past been part of those who “have been appealing to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu all this while to stop the killings”.
The Catholic Priest said they have been reminding Tinubu that he has “all it takes to stop insecurity and injustice in Nigeria, but he paid deaf ears to our pleas”, stressing that “humans are slaughtered daily like cows”.
Angelo said that terrorists in Nigeria are “walking freely”, while “harmless agitators and protesters have either been killed by the same government or are in jail”.
In another post, the clergy said: “If the US comes to our aid, the chances are 50/50, but if not, our doom is sealed….
“And if the US doesn’t come, who will help us? What are the plans to stop the killings? Donald J. Trump, please come quickly.”
