Human Rights Activist: U.S. Military Intervention Has Not Brought Security to Christians in Nigeria

U.S. military initiatives in Nigeria have failed to stop the persecution and attacks on the country’s Christian population. Nigerian human rights activist and attorney Jabez Musa commented on the situation. This was reported by The Christian Post.

According to the expert, despite airstrikes on Islamist militant positions in late 2025 and the subsequent deployment of military forces, these measures proved to be extremely ineffective. Jabez Musa notes that the terrorists simply adapted their tactics, resulting in the spread of violence—previously limited to the north and center of the country—to the southern regions.

The human rights activist emphasizes that the problem of abductions remains critical. Militants continue to attack church communities, taking worshippers hostage. There have been reported cases of abducted girls being forcibly converted to Islam and subjected to forced marriages. In addition, Musa criticized the inaction of the Nigerian authorities, who, in his view, are failing to provide adequate protection for their citizens, forcing many Christians to flee their homes and seek refuge in camps.

Given the current situation, Jabez Musa calls on the international community to take more decisive and prompt action aimed at ending the humanitarian catastrophe and ensuring the safety of religious minorities in Nigeria.
