Guest Opportunity Judd Saul, Founder Equipping The Persecuted (Nigeria)

Your audience is hearing almost nothing about the country that has become the world’s deadliest place to be a Christian — and where U.S. policy, Western money, and Islamist terror networks intersect in ways that should be front-page news. I’d like to connect you with Judd Saul, founder of TruthNigeria.com and executive director of Equipping the Persecuted, who can take your viewers inside the kill zones, kidnapping corridors, and displacement camps that most Western outlets never cover.

Judd is an award‑winning documentary filmmaker and American missionary who has spent more than a decade working in Nigeria’s most dangerous regions, building a network of local reporters, pastors, and security contacts. Through TruthNigeria.com, launched as an investigative news platform in partnership with Nigerian journalists, he is documenting what many now call a “Christian genocide” — entire villages razed, churches bombed, and families massacred by Fulani militias, Boko Haram, and Islamic State–aligned factions, often after federal authorities were warned.

At the same time, through Equipping the Persecuted, Judd runs a 48‑hour emergency response operation: teams on the ground move into attack sites with food, medical care, trauma support, early‑warning security alerts, and help for internally displaced Christian families who have lost everything. This combination of investigative reporting and direct relief gives him something rare: verifiable stories, names, and locations — plus a solutions‑driven angle about what actually works to protect vulnerable communities.

Timely, high‑impact angles for your show

Judd can bring you:

The truth about Nigeria’s “kill zones.” How coordinated attacks in states like Benue, Plateau, Taraba, and Yobe are driving Christians off ancestral lands, using mass killings, kidnappings, and terror campaigns that mirror tactics used by ISIS in the Middle East.

Why Western media and governments keep getting Nigeria wrong. How euphemisms like “farmer-herder clashes” and a focus on climate or “banditry” obscure a clear pattern of ethno‑religious cleansing, and why that misframing shapes bad policy.

Security alerts and intelligence your viewers haven’t seen. TruthNigeria regularly publishes advance terror warnings gathered from local sources — including credible threats before major holidays and planned multi‑village raids — that have helped pastors and communities get people out before the shooting starts.

Follow the money: corruption, oil, and international aid. From multi‑billion‑dollar fuel scams to failed anti‑corruption efforts and questionable “deradicalization” programs, Judd can explain how systemic corruption in Abuja empowers violent actors and undermines the very communities Western aid claims to protect.

A roadmap for U.S. policymakers and the Church. Concrete steps Congress, the State Department, and faith leaders can take now — from targeted sanctions, designating Fulani militias as terrorist entities, and tightening aid oversight, to supporting credible early‑warning and relief systems on the ground.

Judd is broadcast‑tested, clear, and direct. His recent national appearances include Fox News with Harris Faulkner, where he unpacked Nigeria’s spiraling anti‑Christian violence for an American audience. Here is a link to that interview clip:​
