Moore decried the alleged ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria, saying it has been met with global indifference.

Riley Moore, United States lawmaker and leader of the investigative committee set up by President Donald Trump over alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria, has accused the Nigerian government of failing to justify the extensive military assistance it received from Washington.

Moore decried the alleged ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria, saying it has been met with global indifference.


He said this in an interview with Dinesh D'Souza programme shared on Friday and seen by SaharaReporters.

"My brothers and sisters in Christ are murdered for practising their faith and belief in our Lord Jesus Christ," he stated, expressing outrage over what he described as years of silence and neglect from both Nigerian authorities and the international community."

He warned that Nigeria’s inability to address the killings could have far-reaching consequences, stressing that the United States would eventually be forced to act if the situation deteriorates further.


"If we don't address this, if we don't do something about this and some terrorists take hold in Nigeria, I promise you, we would have to address it one way or the other. What I would like to do is address it in a cooperative manner with the Nigerians and hopefully there would be."

The lawmaker criticised the Nigerian government for failing to prioritise the protection of Christians despite receiving substantial US security support over the years.






"I think there is a potential very quickly to partner and I am hoping they would partner with the US government to address this because we have been providing them billions of billions of dollars worth of security assistance. They have been paying for that but they were also granted security assistance from the United States of America, training and equipment, for them to address this issue and it has gone on unresolved and they are not prioritising the protection of the Christians."

He lamented that the violence had continued “under the radar” for far too long, with little global attention or meaningful intervention to halt the slaughter of Christians.

"The pieces are in place to address this, it has been flying under the radar and nobody has cared about this for a very long time. But if we are not going to stand up for this, for the very values we have as Christians and I am not talking of nation building, democracy, we are talking about going on to protect Christians from murder," he added.

According to him, the time has come for both Nigeria and its international partners to move beyond rhetoric and take concrete action to stop what he described as a “forgotten genocide.”

Earlier, Moore promised to send a report to Donald Trump soon, saying, "I am on it."

"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," he wrote in reaction to Trump’s speech vowing action on what he described as "genocide against Christians" in Nigeria.

In a speech seen by SaharaReporters, Trump had reiterated that he has designated Nigeria a “country of particular concern” over what he described as large-scale killings of Christians and warned that Washington could cut aid or even take military action if the violence continues.

“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria, thousands and thousands of Christians are being killed, radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a country of particular concern, that is a legal definition,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

He drew attention to global figures and urged rapid action from U.S. lawmakers. “When the Christians or any such group is slaughtered like it's happening in Nigeria 3100 Vs 4476 Worldwide, what horrible numbers.”

Trump called on members of Congress to move quickly, singling out appropriations leaders. “Something has to be done, I am asking Congressman Riley Moore together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee to immediately look into this matter to report back to me, I mean like immediately.”

He added that the United States could intervene to protect religious minorities. “The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria and other countries. It's not only in Nigeria, it's all over. We are able and willing to defend Christians, the killing of Christians, it is not going to happen.”

The Nigerian government has rejected the characterization and pushed back against claims that the violence amounts to targeted genocide, saying the country's constitution protects all faiths and that security challenges affect communities across religious lines.

Last Friday, President Trump announced that, in response to claims of genocide against Christians in Nigeria, he had redesignated the country as a “Country of Particular Concern.” He made the announcement on his Truth Social platform, writing:

“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN’ — But that is the least of it,” he wrote.

He went on to say the U.S. may conduct a military operation in the country if 'killings of Christians' continue.

Nigeria, however, denied any genocide against Christians.

I don't do this but I just need to, because I do see this lame excuse every where. If truly the presidency really wants to let the people feel the postive impacts of the subsidy removal, the money should have been used directly by the presidency, and not to the state. What happens to using the money to fund some projects, like creating empowerment scheme, in its name, in all states? Or even find a way of sharing it to the people?

Streetinvestor2:
Just as hunger and poverty will continue to wound u and fmly..lol

Ofunaofu:
But here, after removing the subsidy and claiming to have surpassed its revenue target, the Tinubu-led APC regime, instead of paying dividends, is inflicting untold hardship, hunger, and starvation on Nigerians, plundering resources, siphoning funds, and engaging in mindless borrowing to pay defectors into the APC.

SmartPolician:
For the US to deal with these Isl@mic terrorists ruthlessly, they must not share intelligence with compromised security operatives. The first time America came to Nigeria to help deal with Boko Haram, they left the country almost immediately because they noticed that 5th columnists in Nigeria military were sharing military intelligence with the terrorists.

LP's Moghalu rejects Soludo re-election victory, alleges gross irregularities



"Another issues that came up during the election was underage voting. There were people that supposed not posses voters cards, but they did. Where did they get it? They got it from INEC. People in INEC registered them, and you understand the implication. The implication is that underage voters are susceptible to manipulation and being guided.

omooba969:
That team is now depleted and I doubt they know it. I once mentioned here that the unsung heroes that made Liverpool what it used to be are no longer in that squad. The likes of Diaz, Jota (RiP), Alexander Arnold, Nunez, Elliott & Tsimikas.

HgAkpobomeEr:
APC should be ashamed of themselves.

arantess:
Taaaaaa, take a back seat

arantess:
Try to stay on topic.

That's how intelligent people keep conversations ok?

Ttalk:
Diversionary tactics as usual.

Did Elrufai visit US recently?

No

Why are you lying around that he presented a paper in USA just to cover his dossier that has been sent by DSS and Nigeria communities to Trump.

Why is he in Sudan and not US while you are lying about him in US.

If e sure for you, ask him to go to US and let's see if he won't be arrested

AMINDA:
Okay, we hear you. Does this mean that APGA's presidential candidate in 2027 will get 400k votes in Anambra or will Tinubu inherit Soludo's votes? How come Jide Sanwo-olu won his re-election comfortably in Lagos but failed to deliver Tinubu? APC is not unpopular in the Southeast, Tinubu is. Both Nwifuru and Uzodinma comfortably won their reelection but couldn't deliver 5% to Tinubu.

Streetinvestor2:
None of these people will vote SW president in 2027 for president. It is not about party in SE

Irony1:
Lagos has the likes of Dangote and Otwdola and they still collect 1k and tomato paste to vote

gidgiddy:
Yeah, and those us left by 2031 after hunger, insecurity, corruption have finished kpaing us, will have something to look forward to

samuelson06:
You wish! But you guys have failed. You mastermind attacks to destabilize the SE so you can blame IPOB but God pass you all. SE is peaceful.

Fejoku:
The wrong narrative you lots have been parading against IPOB is only believed by your people. Everyone in the East know it isn't IPOB attacking our people but agents of the Nigerian security and their hired mercenaries like Asari Dokubo's boys. He has openly boasted about it. Ndigbo can't be confused by you tiny brained corn munchers.

gidgiddy:
He has been in detention 5 years and your Nigeria has only gotten worse on every index in that 5 years. You jail him or not, the country will continue to get worse because no country is run the Nigeria is ran and ever progresses

arantess:
help them add it na

e pain you say no south east state is there...

you think you know better than them

arantess:
yes, so why are you crying that trump should not come

let him come and drop

Mrchippychappy:
seem their negotiator for here

mrvitalis:
Since President Trump made that power statement I have observed something

Our Muslim brothers in the North have been trying to loop all killings as one then claim more Muslims are being killed..... This is the typical Takiya game played my Muslims

Here is the truth

1) Christian genocides is the from bandits and Boko Haram attacks every different and should never be lumped together don't fall for that trick

2) who are the people committing the Christian genocides then? ... Fulani terrorist who claim they are herdsmen.

They settle near villages, launch attack, chase the villages out rename the village then try to expand


3) it's been happening for over 100 years silently, they have achieved whole local governments in those states

Recently over 200 villages have fallen

There is a reason US is targeting Miyeti Allah they are not fools

Stop allowing this Muslims play Takiya on you don't fall for the trick of them looping all the killings together

Get informed n spread the truth
