 Charges of Christian Killings

     Nigeria - Modern day warfare apparently takes on many shapes. There are the obvious ones like attack drones, bunker busting bombs and of course nuclear weapons. But now, from a corner of the world we would least suspect of developing new mass weapons of war, comes a quasi-legitimate,  quasi-comical, albeit sobering threat, from the African State of Nigeria that involves Mosquito Warfare.

     In a story that is being reported in The Zambian Observer and the Daily Post Nigeria, a defiant response is being issued to the recent threat of military action against Nigeria spelled out by U.S. President Donald Trump. An ex-security expert, who by no means is speaking on an official basis, Comrade Mohammed Ali, has warned U.S. President Donald Trump against invading Nigeria with his military force. This threat comes in the wake of Trump recently designating Nigeria as “Country of Particular Concerns” (CPC) over alleged killings of unsuspecting Christians along with religious freedom violations. 

     President Trump has also publicly stated that he would cut off all aid to the country, and he would “go in…guns-a-blazing” if the government of Nigeria failed to stop the alleged violence against Christian communities. Trump also stated publicly  the U.S. Department of War has been informed to prepare for possible action in Nigeria if their federal government fails to address these genocidal claims. 

     But in a video that has now gone viral, the ex-Security expert, Mr. Ali, claims Nigerians have been living together in peace despite their religious differences.

     “Trump should be aware that we are not suffering from regionalism, tribalism, we are not persecuting Christians, we are all living together with Christians and other religions. We are only suffering from humanitarianism,” stated Comrade Ali.

     He went on to warn that mosquitoes in Nigeria will infect the U.S. soldiers with malaria and infect them instantly if they try invading Nigeria.

     “Mr. Donald Trump, be aware that Nigeria is not Afghanistan. Nigeria is not Iraq. Nigeria is not Venezuela,” Comrade  Ali screamed out at the U.S. President in the video. “If you try to enter Nigeria with your armed forces, our mosquitos are waiting for your soldiers to bite and infect them with malaria fever and they will die instantly.”      

     The Nigerian government has stated unequivocally that its designation as a violator of religious freedom by the United States is fundamentally misinformed. The African nation asserts that the allegations of systemic religious persecution are not true. 

     “Recent external claims suggesting systemic religious persecution in Nigeria are unfounded,” said Foreign Ministry Permanent Secretary Dunoma Umar Ahmed, while addressing foreign diplomats at a briefing in the capital city of Abuja. 

     “The state continues to wage a comprehensive counter-terrorism campaign against groups that target Nigerians of all faiths,” Mr. Ahmed said, adding that US rhetoric had been “disparaging” and that “dialogue and cooperation should remain the standard in engagement between and among sovereign states.”

     Nigeria, officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West Africa. It is the most populous country in Africa with 230 million people. It is a Federal Republic comprising 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Its largest city is Lagos, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world.

     Reports of persecution of Nigerian Christians have circulated throughout the world press for years. A recent article in the Washington Post stated “at last, the world notices persecution of Nigerian Christians.” The Post article mentions a 2020 march in Abuja, Nigeria, in which local Bishops gathered Catholics and members of other denominations to pray for security and to protest violence against Christians. 

     According to a report issued in August 2025, by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (Intersociety), an African nongovernmental group that documents human rights violations, in the first seven months of 2025 alone, more than 7,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria.

    Human Rights organizations claim that Christians of various denominations and moderate Muslims regularly die at the hands of Boko Haram, Fulani militants and other violent actors. Numbers vary and are difficult to verify, but between 2009 and 2023 in Nigeria, Intersociety reports at least 52,000 Christians were killed, 18,500 were abducted and unlikely to have survived, and more than 20,000 churches and Christian schools were attacked.

     Mixed in with the obvious religious motives, there are conflicts over land, abductions for ransom (especially Catholic priests) and other regional points of conflict that account for the killings. But anti-Christian targeting in the great majority of these cases appears to be the overwhelming cause of the deliberate ethnic slaughters. 

     In March 2025, the Nigerian Government, answering charges lodged against them by various worldwide organizations, including the U.S. Government, stated “violence in the country was not driven by religious bias or targeted against any particular group.”
