Blogger Comment: It is a known fact now and not just in Nigeria, but across the world that Christians are being murdered for their religious learnings and where this is a Globalist driven situation as they pay terrorists to do this continually, as they want to eliminate “all” religions where they see religion as a threat to them…and it is…as if you get religion fighting religion, these totally evil Davos Globalist people have won and where this can never be for humaity’s ultimate survival…but it is and the people don’t realise what the real driver of this totally evil killing field really is created by the Globalists…

The House has voted to cut off all U.S. financial assistance to Nigeria until the country takes effective action to stop the mass killing, abduction, and persecution of Christians.
Lawmakers passed the State Department appropriations bill on July 15 with language making aid contingent on the Nigerian government protecting victims, prosecuting perpetrators, and helping displaced communities return home.
The measure comes amid reports that Islamist groups have killed thousands of Christians, abducted thousands more, destroyed hundreds of churches, and forced women and children to convert to Islam.
Under H.R. 8595, no financial assistance can be provided to the Nigerian government until the Secretary of State certifies to congressional appropriators that Nigeria is “taking effective steps to prevent and respond to violence and hold perpetrators accountable.”
Nigeria must also demonstrate that it is “prioritizing resources to support victims of such violence, including internally displaced persons” and “actively facilitating the safe return, resettlement, and reconstruction of communities impacted by the violence.”
Republicans Move to Withhold 100 Percent of Aid
The original provision would have made half of Nigeria’s U.S. assistance contingent on taking those actions.
Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) introduced an amendment increasing the restriction to 100 percent.
“American taxpayers should NEVER bankroll governments that turn a blind eye while Christians are abducted, tortured, and murdered,” Steube said.
“No more wasteful foreign aid!”
Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) said the legislation sends a direct message that the United States will not abandon persecuted Christians.
“Christians in Nigeria continue to endure horrific violence, murder, and persecution while a majority of the world turns a blind eye to their suffering,” Moore said.
“President Trump has taken bold actions to strike the terrorists in Nigeria, and this bill sends a clear message that the United States will continue to stand with persecuted Christians across the globe, especially in Nigeria.”
“This important bill also holds foreign governments accountable and ensures American taxpayer dollars advance our national interests.”
Thousands of Christians Killed and Abducted
Nigeria-based International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law reported that Islamist groups killed 2,550 Christians and abducted 2,800 others between January and June 2026.
The groups identified in the report include Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province.
The same violence also claimed the lives of 1,050 Muslims, while another 1,150 Muslims were abducted.
The report found that 300 churches had been destroyed or abandoned during the first half of the year.
Twenty Christian pastors were killed or abducted, while an estimated 800 Christian women and children were forced to convert to Islam.
International Christian advocacy organization Open Doors ranks Nigeria as the seventh-most dangerous country in the world for Christians.
Nigeria accounted for 3,100 of the 4,476 Christians reported killed worldwide for their faith in 2024.
Government Accused of Failing to Protect Victims
Freedom House said Nigeria’s constitution formally protects religious freedom, but government authorities have imposed restrictions and failed to stop repeated attacks.
“Religious freedom is constitutionally protected, but the government has also embarked on crackdowns against religious groups that have questioned its authority,” the organization said.
“State and local governments have been known to endorse de facto official religions in their territory, placing limits on other religious activity.”
“A number of violent attacks on Christian worshippers and nonreligious individuals by Islamist militants and other armed groups have been reported in recent years.”
The State Department has also reported that Nigeria “sometimes took steps to investigate alleged human rights abuses by officials, but prosecution and punishment for such abuses was rare.”
A Nigerian federal court sentenced four gunmen to death last month for carrying out a 2022 massacre at a Catholic church.
Trump Administration Targets ISIS Leader
The Trump administration has also taken direct action against Islamist terrorism operating inside Nigeria.
In May, the administration coordinated with the Nigerian government on an operation targeting ISIS second-in-command Abu-Bilal al-Minuki in northern Nigeria.
The House bill now seeks to apply additional pressure by making clear that U.S. taxpayers will not continue funding the Nigerian government while Christians are being slaughtered, kidnapped, and driven from their communities.
