Human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has fired back at former U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks on violence in Nigeria, declaring that the Nigerian government has long been complicit in what he describes as an ongoing genocide across the country. In a strongly worded reaction, Farotimi said the Nigerian state has permitted mass atrocities for years, insisting that he does not need validation from any foreign leader to confirm what he has publicly warned about for more than a decade.

Jocomms Correspondent reports that in a video message, Farotimi accused the Nigerian government of aiding impunity by protecting those he claims are responsible for widespread killings. He cited multiple public figures who have raised similar alarms, emphasizing that the continued influence of controversial politicians proves state complicity. Addressing Trump’s threat to halt U.S. aid, Farotimi stated that Nigeria does not need foreign assistance, arguing that such support has historically entrenched corruption and underdevelopment. He urged Western nations to stop providing safe havens and banking access to corrupt Nigerian elites instead of pretending to offer help.

Farotimi warned against foreign military involvement in Nigeria, calling instead for international legal and diplomatic measures to expose and prosecute perpetrators of violence. He urged the U.S. and its allies to use their influence responsibly, saying the solution to Nigeria’s crisis must come from within. As tensions rise over America’s fresh “Country of Concern” designation, many now wonder—will this renewed global attention finally spark justice and reform in Nigeria?
