A United States lawmaker, Riley Moore, has introduced a congressional resolution condemning the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria and expressing support for President Donald Trump’s efforts to address the crisis.
In a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, Moore said the resolution, filed in the House of Representatives on Friday and titled “Condemning the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and standing ready to support President Donald Trump in taking decisive action to end the existential threat that persecuted Christians face in Nigeria,” was submitted and referred to the relevant House committee.
Moore wrote, “I just introduced a resolution condemning the atrocities Christians are facing in Nigeria and supporting @POTUS’ efforts to defend Christians who are being slaughtered.”
The lawmaker, who chairs the investigative committee set up by Trump to probe the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria, described the West African nation as “the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian.”
