Salis Muhammad Abdulsalam, founder of the Displaced Women and Children Foundation, has addressed growing international concerns regarding alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria. His remarks come after reports that U.S. President Donald Trump considered possible military action over claims of a targeted genocide.
In an interview with Channels Television, Abdulsalam dismissed suggestions of a deliberate genocide, noting that media narratives and some foreign reports often misrepresent the situation on the ground. He stressed that exaggerated accounts can distort public understanding and unnecessarily escalate tensions.
Abdulsalam also critiqued the role of the Nigerian media in shaping perceptions of Boko Haram. He explained that repeated use of the group’s Arabic name and its translation as “Western education is a sin” contributed to the group’s notoriety. “The media made Boko Haram popular. They use their Arabic name and then translate it to mean ‘Western education is a sin,’ which only fueled their notoriety,” he said.
He urged Nigerians and the international community to approach reports about the country’s security situation carefully, emphasizing the importance of balanced and factual coverage.
