Christian persecution in Taraba State, Nigeria

Motion Text

That this House notes with extreme concern reports of recent widespread jihadist-driven attacks in Nigeria, including an attempted raid on Jen Village in Karim Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba State on 25 May 2025; further notes that while the attack was thwarted by the timely intervention of troops, the incident highlights the persistent threat of violence faced by Christian communities in the region; and calls on His Majesty's Government and the Nigerian authorities to take more effective action to protect vulnerable communities and to bring to justice those responsible.
