US Congressman, Riley Moore, has disclosed that the White House will soon come up with options on how to protect Christians in Nigeria against persecution by Islamist extremists.
Rep. Moore who disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, said he would soon brief President Donald Trump on his findings following the fact-finding mission to Nigeria which would enable the White House to proffer options on how to protect Christians in Nigeria.
Moore who was reacting to testimony by Bishop Robert Barron who addressed the US lawmakers on the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, said the US is not taking the allegations lightly.
“Thank you Bishop Barron, for shedding light on how our brothers and sisters in Christ are being persecuted for their faith in Nigeria,” Moore wrote after the briefing.
“Thanks for the shout-out. You’re right, I will be briefing the White House on this topic very soon to give them options on how to protect Christians in Nigeria.”
The lawmaker added that it is imperative for the US under Trump to come up with several options on how to safeguard Nigerian Christians from extermination.
“In addition to our recently passed FY26 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs, NSRP, bill, which protects US security, upholds humanity, and safeguards religious freedom, the House Appropriations Committee will soon deliver a report to President Donald Trump on the situation in Nigeria – facts, oversight, and leadership,” he wrote.
