Congressman Moore issued the following statement:
“Today, I had a frank, honest, and productive discussion with senior members of the Nigerian government regarding the horrific violence and persecution Christians face and the ongoing threat terrorism poses across Nigeria. I made it crystal clear that the United States must see tangible steps to ensure that Christians are not subject to violence, persecution, displacement, and death simply for believing in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We stand ready to work cooperatively with the Nigerians to help their nation combat the terrorism perpetrated by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants against their population, specifically Christians in the Northeast and Middle Belt regions of Nigeria. The Nigerian government has the chance to strengthen and deepen its relationship with the United States. President Trump and Congress are united and serious in our resolve to end the violence against Christians and disrupt and destroy terrorist groups within Nigeria. I urge the Nigerians to work with us in cooperation and coordination on this critical issue.”
The delegation included:
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu – NSA and Leader of the Delegation
Her Excellency, Bianca Ojukwu - Minister of State for Foreign Affairs

Succinct to the woes facing the citizens, while the Nuhu Ribadu led APC Federal Government team are in Washington DC, Boko Haram in Borno State laid ambush against the Nigerian Army. A Brigadier General and all of his troops was annihilated by the Terrorists.
Also in Kebbi State, school girls have been kidnapped. Military troops on the rescue operation also fell in the terrorists ambush.
In Kwara State, armed bandits invaded a church, (Chris Apostolic Church) . Many have been kidnapped too.
The Tinubu led APC pro-terrorist, bandits and Fulani killers lack any modicum to stop the wanton killings in Nigeria. Insecurity has long ago become a very lucrative business for the government officials including military senior hierarchies and the criminals bandits at the determent of the defenseless citizens.
