Guest Avails Judd Saul &/or Franc Utoo

We must stop sanitizing the headlines and call this what it is. – Franc Utoo
Its all smoke and mirrors. — Judd Saul
On May 17, 2026, U.S. forces joined Nigeria in fresh airstrikes on ISIS‑linked fighters in the country’s northwest—part of President Trump’s promise to defend persecuted Christians worldwide. Yet on the ground, Christian communities say almost nothing has changed.
Humanitarian leader Judd Saul, founder of Equipping the Persecuted and TruthNigeria and Franc Utto, Nigerian attorney, humanitarian, and human rights advocate are available to tell your viewers what Washington is getting wrong and what it will really take to protect Nigeria’s Christians.
Despite repeat U.S. strikes—beginning with Trump’s Christmas‑Day 2025 Tomahawk attack on ISIS camps and now the May 17, 2026 operation—atrocity‑watch groups report that civilians, especially Christians in the north and Middle Belt, remain at extreme risk from Boko Haram, ISWAP, and heavily armed bandit gangs. In the last year, gunmen have abducted more than 300 Catholic schoolchildren in one raid, kidnapped over 160 worshippers from churches during services, and wiped out entire villages in central Nigeria—often in majority‑Christian areas the government still describes as “random victims” of crime.
Saul can walk your audience through whether U.S. air power is actually making Christians safer, how new legislation in Congress tries to tie U.S. security aid to real protection on the ground, and what must change if America is serious about stopping a slow‑motion Christian genocide. He has field teams working directly with displaced Nigerian Christians and can deliver crisp, emotional stories and hard numbers in your evening format.

This gripping on-the-ground report exposes the brutal massacre of Christian villagers in Nding, Nigeria, through the voices of survivors who watched their homes burn and their loved ones cut down. Viewers are taken inside the village in the aftermath of the attack, seeing the ruins of churches and houses, and hearing first-hand testimony about how militants stormed the community, executed residents, and tried to erase every trace of Christian life. The film not only documents the violence, but also highlights the resilience of the believers who remain, their calls for justice, and the urgent need for international attention to the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
Produced by Equipping the Persecuted, this video is reported and narrated by Nigerian journalist Masara Kim, whose courageous fieldwork brings global awareness to the suffering of vulnerable Christian communities and the reality of religiously motivated violence in the region.
