U.S. Congressman Riley M. Moore met in Washington, D.C., with Nigeria’s National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and other top security and government officials to discuss terrorist killings and the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria. The Nigerian delegation included the NSA, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Bianca Ojukwu, the Inspector General of Police, the Attorney General of the Federation, the Chief of Defence Staff, and senior intelligence officials.
The meeting focused on rising violence, terrorist threats, and attacks by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and armed groups in the Northeast and Middle Belt. Nigerian officials outlined the country’s security challenges and the need for stronger counterterrorism support.
Congressman Moore said the United States is ready to deepen cooperation but stressed that Nigeria must take “tangible steps” to protect Christian communities. He echoed former President Donald Trump’s warning that the U.S. will not tolerate continued religious persecution, stating that “President Trump does not make idle threats.”
The discussion comes as the U.S. House Appropriations Committee prepares to submit a report to the White House describing the situation as “genocide against Christians in Nigeria.” Trump recently redesignated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and hinted at possible U.S. military action if the killings continue.
Moore also criticised the Nigerian government for failing to justify the significant U.S. military support it has received, saying global silence on the killings is unacceptable.
