US Lawmaker Blames Nigerian Government for Rising Killings of Christians
US lawmaker Riley Moore has renewed his criticism of the Nigerian government for its perceived inaction in addressing the rising killings of Christians in the country. Moore specifically highlighted the recent abduction of Catholic priest Rev. Fr. Nathaniel Asuway from Holy Trinity Parish in Kaduna State, alongside 10 others, with three parishioners brutally murdered during the attack.
Moore described the situation as a genocide against Christians and called for urgent action to protect the lives of Nigerian citizens. He urged the Nigerian government to defend its citizens and end the violent persecution of Christians.
The lawmaker's statements come amidst growing concerns over repeated violent attacks on Christian communities across Nigeria, with fears of escalating religious tensions and insecurity in the region.
