US Congressman Warns Nigerian Delegation: Christian Killings Must Stop or Washington Will Act

A high-level delegation of senior Nigerian government officials met on Tuesday with United States Congressman Riley M. Moore in Washington, D.C., for what both sides described as a frank and tense discussion over the continued persecution of Christians and the escalating terrorist threats across Nigeria.

The Nigerian team, led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, briefed the congressman on the country’s security challenges, counterterrorism efforts, and the government’s struggle to protect vulnerable communities amid widespread violence.

Congressman Moore, however, delivered a clear warning. He told the delegation that the United States would not continue to look away while Christians in Nigeria face relentless killings, displacement, and targeted attacks. He added that President Donald Trump had already made America’s position known and that “President Trump does not make idle threats.”

Moore insisted that Washington expects tangible steps from the Nigerian government to protect Christian communities and to confront Boko Haram, ISWAP, and armed Fulani militant groups responsible for attacks across the Northeast and Middle Belt.

He emphasized that the United States is ready to cooperate and support Nigeria but warned that the patience of Congress is limited. Moore said he would keep monitoring developments closely and continue urging Nigeria to “accept the open hand of cooperation” to end the bloodshed.

The Nigerian delegation included National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu; Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Bianca Ojukwu; Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun; Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi; Chief of Defence Staff General Olufemi Olatunbosun Oluyede; Chief of Defence Intelligence Lt. Gen. E.A.P. Undiendeye; and senior officials from the Office of the National Security Adviser and the Nigerian Embassy in Washington.
