US Congress Holds Briefing on Persecution of Christians in Nigeria

The US Congress has scheduled a joint briefing to examine the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria, led by Congressman Riley Moore and Vice Chair Mario D. Az Balart. The briefing, organized by the House Appropriations Committee, will focus on the escalating violence and persecution targeting Christians in Nigeria.

This initiative follows a spike in terrorist attacks in Nigeria, prompting President Bola Tinubu to approve the formation of a Nigeria-US joint work group for security cooperation. The briefing aims to gather testimonies and submissions to contribute to a broader report outlining the scale of violence against Christian communities in Nigeria.
