Anti-Trump protest breaks out in Kano

Islamic groups in Kano State have come out to protest against recent moves by United States President Donald Trump to intervene in the country’s security crisis.

The protesters trooped out on Saturday to counter Trump’s claim of Christian genocide in Nigeria.

They were seen displaying placards with different inscriptions such as ‘We condemn Trump’s threat to attack Nigeria’, ‘There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria’, ‘America wants to control our resources’, amongst others.

Recently, Trump designated Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over the alleged persecution of Christians in the country.

The US President subsequently threatened that if the Nigerian government fails to address the killing of Christians, the American military will intervene.

The Nigerian government has since denied the alleged Christian genocide, describing it as false.
