Nigeria reeled on Monday from US President Donald Trump’s claim over the weekend that Christians are being systematically killed in the West African country, with blanket coverage across local media.

It’s still unclear what — if anything — the administration will do to counter Islamic militants in Nigeria, but precision drone strikes are among the preliminary options being considered.

President Donald J. Trump has threatened possible U.S. military action in Nigeria, saying the United States “may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns-a-blazing” if Nigeria’s government fails to stop the killing of Christians.

Earlier, U.S. lawmaker Riley M. Moore called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to immediately take decisive diplomatic action against the Nigerian government over what he described as the “systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians” in the country.

Northern Nigeria has endured years of insecurity as jihadist groups and armed criminals terrorise communities, forcing thousands to flee their homes. A recent social media post claims to show a video of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in a north-central Nigerian state with seized military assets.
