United States Congressman Riley Moore has claimed that Christians in Nigeria suffer the overwhelming brunt of violent attacks amid the country’s escalating insecurity.
Moore, who has been vocal about his condemnation of the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, stated that while violence in the country affects people of all faiths, Christians are disproportionately targeted.
“Violence and insecurity in Nigeria affect people of all faiths, but Christians bear the overwhelming brunt of the attacks and have suffered in silence for two decades.
“Christians are five times more likely to be killed than any other religious group,” alleging that Fulani militias and terrorist groups frequently attack Christian communities.
