Why are Donald Trump and Nicki Manij talking about Nigeria?
The kidnapping of more than 300 Catholic school students from St Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger state, is among the worst mass abductions in Nigeria. US President Donald Trump earlier this month threatened military action against Nigeria after accusing its government of allowing attacks on Christians.
In response, Nigeria said portraying its security challenges as a “targeted campaign against a single religious group” was a “gross misrepresentation of reality”. No group has claimed responsibility for the abduction and security forces have been deployed to try and find the students and their captors.
