Survivor of Boko Haram Kidnapping Grateful for President Trump’s Move to Protect Persecuted Christians in Nigeria

Survivor of Boko Haram Kidnapping Thanks President Trump

Nearly three years after being freed by Boko Haram militants who held him captive for 12 days, Nigerian Christian Paul Adamu remains deeply traumatized and reluctant to discuss his ordeal. During an interview with EWTN News Nightly on November 3, 2025, Adamu shared his feelings about the experience from 2023 but expressed gratitude toward the U.S. President Donald Trump for addressing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

Updated U.S. Designation of Nigeria

On November 1, 2025, the United States officially classified Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) due to its severe violations of religious freedom and ongoing persecution of Christians.

President Trump's Warning

“If the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria and may very well go into that now-disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities."

This strong stance marks a significant shift in U.S. policy, demonstrating increased commitment to protecting persecuted religious communities in Nigeria.
