Jacobs spoke on Thursday during a congressional hearing in Washington DC of allegations of Christian persecution in Nigeria.

After the redesignation, Trump threatened that the US military would go into Nigeria “guns-a-blazing to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”
