Leader of the US delegation on fact-finding of Christian genocide claims in Nigeria, Riley Moore, says the sights and stories of killings in Nigeria will stay with him for the rest of his life.
Rep Moore made this statement in a post on his verified X handle on Thursday.
Recall that Moore, who led the US delegation on fact-finding about Christian genocide in Nigeria, arrived in the country on Sunday.
During the assignment, he led the delegation to Benue State, where he had a one-on-one with victims of the killings.
While in Benue, the US Congressman revealed that there are more than 600,000 Internally Displaced Persons IDPs) In the State
Writing on his X handle on Thursday, Moore said, “I just returned from a Congressional delegation to Nigeria with the House Appropriations Committee
“While there, we visited Benue State. We met with Bishops Anagbe and Dugu, and Tor Tiv. We met with suffering IDPs who are all Christians. They are forced to live in camps that are regularly attacked by Fulani Islamic radicals.
“We heard heartbreaking stories from survivors of this horrific genocidal campaign committed by the Fulani, including a woman who was forced to watch as five of her children were killed.
“I am working on a report to President Donald Trump that will outline a path forward to work with the Nigerian government in a coordinated and cooperative manner to end the slaughter of innocent Christians in the Middle Belt and stop the ongoing terrorist threat in the Northeast.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. It will stay with me the rest of my life. We will brief the President soon. More to come.”
