…says Trump’s remarks should inspire unity against killings
By John Alechenu, Abuja
The Country Director of Linkway Outreach Africa (LOA), Pastor Daniel Adejoh, has urged Nigerians to treat former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments about alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria as a call for unity against killings, rather than an opportunity for divisive blame.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Adejoh stressed that the sanctity of human life must remain a priority.
“This is not the time to trade blame. Life is sacred and should never be taken arbitrarily under any guise,” he said, noting that killing is prohibited under international treaties and domestic laws.
Adejoh acknowledged that violent attacks have occurred across different parts of Nigeria for decades despite efforts by successive administrations to curb them. He said LOA continues to provide social services across communities while encouraging government to intensify efforts to protect citizens, regardless of religious or political differences.
He further urged the federal government to use the current global attention as an opportunity to strengthen foreign policy and deepen cooperation with advanced democracies in tackling terrorism.
“In reality, terrorism is ravaging several nations. Nigeria must work with other countries to wipe out terrorists and criminal elements responsible for killings within our borders,” he said, adding that no nation can defeat terrorism alone due to its cross-border nature.
Adejoh called on the government to engage the United States more constructively for support in addressing security challenges.
He also commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing new Service Chiefs and directing them to intensify action against criminality nationwide.
