Tuesday, December 2, 2025 - U.S. Congressman Riley M. Moore has revealed that President Donald Trump instructed him and the Republican-led House Appropriations Committee to launch a thorough investigation into the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
In a post shared on his verified X account, Moore stated
that Trump’s directive follows growing reports alleging that thousands of
Christians across Nigeria face attacks, discrimination, and pressure because of
their faith.
He also noted that the committee had already begun
preliminary work on the issue, and the latest instruction would deepen efforts
to uncover the full scope of the situation.
Moore announced that the committee will convene a roundtable
discussion with experts, human rights organizations, and religious leaders to
better understand the security challenges and alleged violations of religious
freedom in various parts of Nigeria.'
According to him, the session aims to “build on the work
we’ve done so far” by gathering detailed information and testimonies.
