US tells FG to act on Kaduna massacre of 30+ Christians

The United States government has formally asked the Tinubu administration to address what it calls "rampant violence against Christians" in Nigeria, following the massacre of over 30 people in Kaduna State. The attack, which occurred in Southern Kaduna, has reignited international concern over the escalating insecurity and religious violence in the region.

The US statement comes less than a week after the mass burial of victims, a grim reminder that communities in Southern Kaduna have been left to bury their dead while the government's response remains tepid. It is a pattern we have seen too many times, and the international community is now watching closely.

This is not just about one attack. It is about the systematic failure to protect citizens in their own villages. The question on everyone's mind is, how many more massacres will it take before this government treats the lives of Southern Kaduna people as worthy of urgent action?
