The leaders later went on to hold a joint press conference where President Trump announced that “Nigeria is a valued partner and good friend”. He also added that he would like to visit Nigeria, calling it “an amazing country”.
President Trump promised that America would be working “very, very hard” to end the killing of Christians in Nigeria. He said, “I’m concerned about the burning of churches and killing & persecution of Christians in Nigeria”
This comes after the attack on a church in Benue that led to the killing of scores of worshippers including two priests.
The presidential media team have said this is the first time United States President Donald Trump is meeting with a leader from sub-Saharan Africa.
Ben Murray-Bruce says Dino Melaye “literally escaped death”
Common sense advocate, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce today shared a fresh version of the events of April 24, 2018, that led to the escape and later detention of Senator Dino Melaye in a hospital ward.
Last week, reports of Senator Melaye jumping out of a police van in an attempt to resist arrest filled the news space but now, Senator Murray-Bruce has provided an all-new perspective to the story.
According to him, the police gassed Senator Melaye twice while he was being transported in their van leading him to bolt for freedom after he nearly lost his breath.
Just met with @dino_melaye. Very sad to hear what transpired. Dino is asthmatic, yet while in transit, the police gassed him & he could barely breathe. Second time they gassed him, he had to force his way out of the vehicle. Dino literally escaped death. SAD!

True story or not, here’s how Nigerians reacted to this very interesting version:
The Police must be very wicked to have gassed themselves, Dino and the driver of the car? They should be charged for attempting to commit suicide and murder of Dino…….

Nigerians have been complaining and protesting about police brutality for years and you distinguished senators of the hallowed chamber did not even bat an eyelid towards our plight.I’m delighted this happened to Senator Melaye, hopefully it happens to more senators. Do something!

Sir, have you heard from the police or is this a one sided story? You saw the video of your fellow senator threatening to kill himself and implicate the police. How is it that they gassed him and it did not affect them? Did the police have gas masks on. #CommonSense is not common

Either way, we must put an end to police brutality.
