Islamic organizations in Kano State are currently demonstrating against recent actions taken by United States President, Donald Trump, regarding the country's security issues.
The demonstrators gathered on Saturday to refute Trump’s assertion of a Christian genocide occurring in Nigeria.
They were seen holding placards with various messages such as ‘We condemn Trump’s threat to attack Nigeria’, ‘There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria’, and ‘America seeks to control our resources’, among others.
According to DAILY POST, Trump recently labeled Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ due to the alleged persecution of Christians within the nation.
The US President later threatened that if the Nigerian government does not take action to stop the killings of Christians, the American military would intervene.
The Nigerian government has since rejected the claims of a Christian genocide, calling them false.
