US Lawmaker Urges Trump to Act on Nigeria's Christian Killings

US lawmaker Riley Moore urges Trump to declare Nigeria a 'Country of Particular Concern' due to ongoing Christian killings. Moore, in a letter to the State Department, highlighted the systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, urging immediate action.

He emphasized Nigeria's status as a Christian nation and the obligation for the US to protect religious freedom. Moore cited alarming statistics from Open Doors, showing high numbers of Christian deaths and church attacks.

He called for the suspension of arms sales to Nigeria until the government shows a genuine commitment to ending religious violence. The letter also mentioned the captivity of 850 Christians by terrorists.

The plea aims to address the dire situation and protect the Christian community in Nigeria.
