United States lawmaker Riley Moore has confirmed that he will soon submit a report to former President Donald Trump regarding the ongoing investigations into the alleged killing and persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
Moore’s statement came in response to Trump’s recent address, where the former US president reiterated his concern over what he described as the “alarming persecution of Christians” in Nigeria. Trump emphasized that immediate action was needed to address the situation and directed the House Appropriations Committee to investigate.
According to reports, Trump specifically instructed Congressman Riley Moore, Chairman Tom Cole, and the House Appropriations Committee to conduct a thorough review of the alleged religious violence in Nigeria and submit a detailed report to him.
Responding to Trump’s directive, Moore expressed appreciation for the president’s commitment to defending religious freedom.
“Thank you, President Trump, for your incredible leadership in defending persecuted Christians, especially in Nigeria. Your bold and decisive action to protect our brothers and sisters in Christ will save thousands of lives. I am on it and will have more for you soon,” Moore wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
It will be recalled that Trump had earlier designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged religious persecution, warning that the US might take further diplomatic or military action if the situation worsened.
The US president’s comments have since sparked widespread debate and international attention, particularly among human rights groups and global Christian organizations calling for accountability and protection for religious minorities in Nigeria.
However, the Nigerian government has repeatedly denied any claims of religious persecution, insisting that ongoing violence in the country stems from broader security challenges such as terrorism, banditry, and communal conflicts rather than targeted religious attacks.
