Survivor of Boko Haram Kidnapping Grateful for President Trump’s Action
Nearly three years after his release from Boko Haram captivity, Paul Adamu, a Nigerian Christian, remains deeply affected by the trauma of his abduction and 12-day imprisonment in 2023. Although the experience is still difficult for him to discuss, Adamu recently expressed gratitude toward US President Donald Trump for taking decisive steps to defend persecuted Christians in Nigeria.
Adamu’s Testimony and Ongoing Trauma
In his interview with EWTN News Nightly on November 3, Adamu shared that speaking about his time with Boko Haram militants is still painful. Despite this, he emphasized how meaningful it was to see the United States acknowledge the struggles of Nigerian Christians through formal diplomatic action.
U.S. Policy Toward Nigeria
On Monday, the US officially updated its designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) for what it described as severe violations of religious freedom and persecution of Christians. The move marked a stronger stance from Washington on human rights issues in the region.
President Trump’s Warning to Nigeria
“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 statement, delivered by President Trump on November 1, underscored his administration’s readiness to use military force if Nigeria fails to end the persecution of Christians.
Author’s summary: Paul Adamu’s story underscores both the lasting human cost of Boko Haram’s terrorism and the renewed U.S. commitment under President Trump to protect religious freedom in Nigeria.
