President of the United States (US), Donald Trump, has made it clear that, if the Nigerian government fails to address the killings going on in the country, America “will address it for them”, Rep. Riley Moore, representing West Virginia’s 2nd District in Congress, said.
Rep. Moore made the statement following the killings that happened in Jos on Palm Sunday.
The “two brazen attacks” in Plateau State resulted in the loss of “at least 53 Christians”.
He said, the “persecution and slaughter” of Christians in Nigeria “must end now”.
Rep. Moore posted: “On Palm Sunday, in two brazen attacks at least 53 Christians were murdered by Islamic radical terrorists in Nigeria.
“President Trump has been very clear that if the Nigerian government will not address this genocide, we will address it for them.
“The persecution and slaughter of our brothers and sisters in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ must end NOW.”
According to BBC:
The police have confirmed that 26 people were killed. It is not clear how many died in the initial attack and how many during the retaliation.
