Trump’s Military Threat and Falana’s Rebuke: A National Wake-Up Call
In a
striking episode that has stirred political and public discourse across
Nigeria, President Donald Trump’s recent declaration labeling Nigeria as a
“Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) and threatening military action over
alleged mass killings of Christians has drawn sharp criticism from prominent
Nigerian human rights lawyer, Femi Falana.
Speaking on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” on November 5, 2025, Falana described Trump’s statements as a profound embarrassment to Nigeria, attributing the situation to the government’s persistent failure to address insecurity and criminal activities such as kidnapping for ransom.
