They’re being slaughtered by radical Islamists – US lawmaker excited as Trump designates Nigeria
Riley M. Moore, a member of the US Congress has expressed excitement over the designation of Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns, CPC by President Donald Trump.
Trump had on Friday placed Nigeria on watch list following claims of Christian massacre in the country.
DAILY POST reports that prior to the designation, Moore had alleged that over 30 Christians are being killed every day by Islamic extremists in Nigeria.
The claim has since been debunked by the presidency as government officials in counter claims, said the security crisis in the country has no religious inclination.
Trump in his Truth Social post, said the US government will not be watching while Christians are being killed in Nigeria.
Reacting, Moore in a post via his X handle, Moore commended Trump’s decision, describing it as a demonstration of strong leadership and a commitment to protecting persecuted Christians.
The post reads, “Thank you, @POTUS, for your incredible leadership by designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern.
“You have always been a champion for Christians around the world, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with you and Chairman Cole (@houseappropsgop) to defend our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being slaughtered by radical Islamists in Nigeria.”
