In a major international development, the United States Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, has reportedly signaled readiness to take military action in response to alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria.
This declaration echoes earlier warnings from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who had repeatedly expressed concerns over religious persecution and violence targeting Christian communities across Nigeria.
According to official reports, Hegseth confirmed that the U.S. War Department is closely monitoring the situation and could take decisive steps if the violence continues unchecked. The move has sparked widespread reactions from global observers, raising both diplomatic and security concerns in West Africa.
Analysts say Washington’s renewed attention to Nigeria’s internal security issues could reshape U.S.-Africa relations, especially if military involvement becomes a reality. However, Nigerian authorities have yet to issue an official response to the U.S. warning.
Observers note that this development comes amid ongoing tensions in parts of Nigeria, where ethno-religious conflicts and banditry have claimed thousands of lives in recent years.
If the U.S. follows through on its warnings, this could mark one of the most significant international interventions in Nigeria’s modern history.
