U.S. Lawmaker Calls for Action on Alleged Violence Against Christians in Nigeria
U.S. lawmaker Riley Moore says the latest report from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom “further details a horrific truth” he claims was previously highlighted in a report sent to former President Donald Trump.
He stated that
Fulani militants killed more people in Nigeria over the past year than Boko Haram or ISIS,” adding that “innocent Christians are bearing the brunt of this violent persecution.”
Moore also said Trump “rightly recognized the urgent need to protect Nigerian Christians by specifically addressing this threat in the administration’s counterterrorism strategy.”
He concluded:
America is a Christian nation. We must continue to stand with those who are persecuted for their faith and hold these terrorists accountable.”
