Congressman Riley Moore of the United States has cautioned that there will be repercussions for anyone who target Christians in Nigeria.
Moore made this statement on Sunday during an interview with NewsNation presenter Anna Kooiman.
He acknowledged that the joint Nigerian-American operation that killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, the second-in-command of ISIS worldwide, was ordered by US President Donald Trump.
The recent strike and the larger issue of religious persecution in northeastern Nigeria were also mentioned by the Republican member of the House Appropriations Committee.
“President Trump is devoted to protecting our Christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria from the murder and sacrifice they have endured at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists.
The attack on Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, the second-largest ISIS group in the world, makes it quite evident that anyone who targets defenseless Christians will be apprehended and prosecuted. Moore posted a video clip of the interview on his X account on Monday along with the message, “Do not test President Trump’s resolve.”
He said that after Trump designated Nigeria as a nation of particular concern on October 31 of last year, the administration’s interaction with the country had increased.
The legislator added that he was personally instructed by Trump to look into the matter.
