A United States congressman, Riley Moore, says President Donald Trump is determined to end the killing of Christians in Nigeria
Moore stated this in a post via his verified X handle.
He said the bombardment of terrorist targets in Nigeria was meant to prevent the killing of Christians.
“We did this in coordination with the Nigerian government, which is very important to point out. This isn’t the United States unilaterally doing this, we are doing this in coordination with the Nigerian government to help secure their country and end the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria,” he said.
The US on Christmas Day launched airstrikes on terrorist enclaves in Bauni forest in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
Riley said Christians in Nigeria were attacked by terrorists on Christmas Day in the last two years, adding that Trump gave the terrorists a taste of their own medicine by launching attacks against them.
“So, quite a bit different, the President is totally focused on this. He made that very clear in this attack and and this is a very good first step to addressing this issue,” Riley added.
