Trump has designated Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" over religious persecution, citing widespread violence against Christians linked to extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP, as well as intercommunal conflict.
The move, announced on Truth Social, highlights alleged killings, church attacks, and displacement, with Trump claiming an "existential threat" to Christianity and directing Congress to investigate.
