The National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, convened an emergency meeting with top security officials in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of military action over alleged Christian persecution.
The high-level gathering aimed to coordinate a unified response and assess intelligence reports on potential fallout from Trump’s statement, which accused Nigeria of failing to protect Christians from Islamist militant groups.
“The meeting was called on Monday to evaluate the implications of Trump’s remarks and review intelligence assessments on the potential consequences,” a security source revealed.
Trump alleged the U.S. military was being prepared to tackle Islamist militancy in Nigeria, sparking widespread concern in Abuja.
The outcome of the meeting is expected to be communicated officially through the Office of the National Security Adviser, as Nigeria seeks to navigate this diplomatic crisis.
