Christian persecution in Borno State, Nigeria

Tabled by Ruth Jones (Labour) 8 signatures

The motion

That this House notes with extreme concern reports of recent widespread Jihadist-driven attacks in Nigeria, including a violent assault on an army base in New Marte, Borno State, by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province militants on 27 May 2025; further notes that while the attack was repelled by Nigerian troops under Operation Hadin Kai, it resulted in the deaths of two soldiers; recognises the ongoing threat posed to Christian communities and military personnel in the region by extremist insurgencies; and calls on the UK Government and the Nigerian authorities to take more effective action to protect vulnerable communities and to bring those responsible to justice.
