DCI Group, the $9 million Washington lobbying firm hired by Tinubu’s NSA Nuhu Ribadu, filed four propaganda packages with the U.S. Department of Justice between March 19 and April 21, 2026. All four are public federal record under DCI Group’s Nigeria filings.
Here is what they filed.
March 19. DCI launches the operation. Days before survivors of the Nigerian Christian genocide are scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill, DCI files a preemptive smear at the U.S. Justice Department. In their blast email, the event is dismissed as “a thinly veiled front for the political opponents of the Tinubu administration.” The massacre survivors and the advocates organizing them branded as “professional activists in the U.S. parroting the same claims for their own political and financial gain.” The briefing was delayed.
March 24. DCI rolls out their paid frontman — American “photojournalist” Philip “Flip” Holsinger, taken on a three-month chaperoned tour by Tinubu’s appointed military escort. The conclusion in their propaganda materials DCI files at the Justice Department, and planted in numerous publications: “Rather than widespread religious conflict, Christians and Muslims often live side by side peacefully.”
April 13. Holsinger on the Palm Sunday Jos killings: “There were no Christians killed on Palm Sunday there. There was no church attacked. It’s factually untrue.” Of course we know it is his statement that is untrue. Independent Nigerian reporting and Intersociety put the Palm Sunday Jos death toll at 30, predominantly Christian.
April 21. Holsinger on the security surge: “People definitely feel safe and secure with the military patrols.” Try telling that to the widows and orphans of those killed. Try telling that to the thousands more displaced by these attacks. Disgusting.
This was filed two days after Easter weekend killed at least 157 Christians across the Middle Belt.
During his three months on the chaperoned tour, 1,402 Christians were killed across Nigeria between January 1 and April 6, 2026. Palm Sunday Jos — 30. Easter weekend — 157. Mbwelle — 8. This is what Holsinger calls “living side by side peacefully.”
The Nigerian “security surge” he was supposedly documenting is a lie. It is a surge in killings.
Here’s the reality of what their “surge” looks like: Soldiers disarm Christian villagers, hang back during the attacks, and in documented cases open fire on the victims themselves. In Benue, residents say the first thing the troops at the Forward Operating Bases did was take away their homemade self-defense weapons. In Plateau, soldiers shot six Christian youths defending their village from Fulani militants — and days later opened fire on students protesting the killings.
This is the “surge” Holsinger praised. A surge of genocide, impunity and lies.
That is what a foreign government pays $9 million to file at the U.S. Department of Justice and pump out through the media. Smears of Nigerian Christian survivors. Denial of documented killings. Praise of a phony security surge in the middle of a slaughter.
This is all public record. efile.fara.gov. Read it yourself.
