Genocide in Real Time: How Radical Islamists Have Turned Every Christian Holy Day in Nigeria Into a Target

There is effectively no Christian holiday or event left on the calendar that has escaped an attack by radical Islamist terrorists in Nigeria: Christmas, Christmas Eve, Easter, Good Friday, Palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday, regular Sunday services, New Year’s Day, even Mother’s and Father’s Day. The pattern is clear, yet the ‘genocide’ label is constantly deflected by those who wish to hide the truth, often by activating the concept of ‘taqqiya.’ We must stop sanitizing the headlines and call this what it is. – Franc Utoo

For your prime time coverage on foreign policy, terrorism, and global religious freedom, I’d like to offer Nigerian attorney and survivor advocate Franc Utoo as a compelling guest who can clearly explain what is really happening in Nigeria right now – and why it matters to American viewers.

Franc is a British-trained lawyer from Benue State who has lost family members in recent massacres and now works with Equipping the Persecuted and TruthNigeria.com documenting attacks, confronting officials, and helping coordinate on-the-ground security alerts and relief. He has briefed U.S. leaders on the ongoing targeted violence against Christians and the Nigerian government’s persistent failure to stop it, giving him a unique mix of personal credibility and policy insight.

He is well-suited for a concise, hard-hitting prime time segment and can speak directly to:

How Islamist and militia violence is spreading, and why local security forces are not stopping it.

The connection between Nigeria’s instability and broader terror networks, migration, and U.S. strategic interests.

What he’s seeing on the ground that contradicts official government statements and “nothing to see here” narratives.

Franc is direct and available for interviews.

Hope to hear from you.

Regards,

Jackie Jones

About Franc Utoo
*Full Bio here: https: truthpr.com/guest/franc-utoo/

Franc Utoo is a Nigerian attorney, humanitarian, and human rights advocate who serves as a leading voice on the ongoing genocide of Christians in Nigeria. He works closely with filmmaker and missionary Judd Saul through TruthNigeria.com and Equipping the Persecuted, helping document atrocities, pursue justice, and deliver aid to devastated communities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt.

A native of Yelewata in Benue State, one of the communities hardest hit by Fulani jihadist violence, Franc is the son of the late Village Head of Yelewata, giving him both personal experience of the attacks and deep insight into their impact on local families and traditional leadership structures. He has lost dozens of relatives to massacres in his home area and has used those painful experiences to inform his advocacy before international audiences, including testimony in the United States spotlighting government failures to protect Christian communities.

Professionally, Franc is a legal practitioner and policy researcher whose work spans litigation, public administration, and nonprofit leadership. As a representative of Equipping the Persecuted in Nigeria, he engages with local officials, challenges government obstruction, and defends the rights of victims—most recently confronting local authorities over attempts to block the burial of Christians killed in Fulani attacks. Through TruthNigeria.com, he supports investigative journalism that exposes security failures and state complicity while amplifying the voices of survivors who would otherwise remain unheard.

A practicing Catholic and Knight of Columbus, Franc grounds his public work in faith-based principles of human dignity, solidarity, and justice. He is a sought-after public speaker on Christian persecution and the spread of jihadist violence in Nigeria, appearing in media interviews, live streams, and conferences alongside Judd Saul to brief churches, policymakers, and advocacy organizations around the world. In recognition of his tireless defense of vulnerable communities, the Mzough U Tiv Worldwide, the umbrella body of Nigeria’s Tiv people, has honored him with an award of excellence “in recognition of his defense of the Tiv nation.”
