Former US Envoy Warns Tinubu: Stop Killings in Nigeria

Sam Brownback, a former U.S. Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, issued a stark warning to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu regarding the country's escalating security crisis.

In a speech that gained significant attention through a viral video, Brownback stated that Nigeria is at a critical juncture where continued violence could lead to a violent breakup of the nation. He highlighted the alarming trend of violence against Christians and moderate Muslims, stressing that the situation is no longer sustainable.

Brownback urged immediate action from the Nigerian government to protect these communities, as the ongoing killings could result in broader bloodshed and potentially split the country. He noted that the Nigerian government has failed to adequately address the security issues over the years, which has exacerbated the crisis.

The warning comes at a time when insecurity remains a major concern across Nigeria, with increasing attacks from bandits, insurgents, and armed groups.
