A member of the United States Congress, Representative Riley Moore, has alleged that Christians in Nigeria have borne the overwhelming brunt of violent attacks for more than two decades, calling for decisive American action and stronger bilateral measures to address the situation.
Moore, speaking on what he described as escalating insecurity in Nigeria, said violence in the country affects people of all faiths but maintained that Christians are disproportionately targeted.
“Violence and insecurity in Nigeria affects people of all faiths, but Christians bear the overwhelming brunt of the attacks and have suffered in silence for two decades,” he said.
