In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, however, argued that the allegation by Trump should be a wake-up call for the Federal Government to address the killings in several parts of the country by gunmen.

He said the government has the constitutional mandate to secure lives and property, wondering why such attacks still happen.

Last Friday, Trump said Christianity faced an existential threat in Nigeria, describing the alleged killing as a ‘mass slaughter.

‘Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed.

‘Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter’.

The US president added that the United States ‘cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening’ and directed Congressman Riley Moore and House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole to investigate the matter.
