“I am tired of mass burials! … Nigerian government came out openly and denied — ‘There is no massacre.’ ‘There is no genocide of Christians in Nigeria’ — and look at it today!” he shouted, gesturing toward the machete-slashed bodies around him. “United Nations, I know you are watching me! American Senate, you are watching what I am doing! … Special advisor to Trump, now, please, tell Trump to save our lives in Nigeria!”
