World must not forget Christian genocide in Nigeria – US Congressman
U.S. Congressman Remembers Victims of Christian Genocide in Nigeria
Rep. Riley Moore has urged global attention to the ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria, marking the one-year anniversary of a deadly attack in Benue State.
In a post on his verified social media account, Moore reflected on the assault that took place in Yelewata, Guma Local Government Area, where more than 200 individuals were killed, predominantly women and children taking refuge at a local Catholic mission.
“One year ago, Fulani Islamic terrorists stormed Yelwata, Nigeria, slaughtering more than 200 Christians,” he stated. “Today, we remember the martyrs. The world must not forget the Christian genocide in Nigeria.”
The Congressman’s remarks come as concerns over religious persecution in the region continue to escalate, drawing attention from international human rights organizations and lawmakers alike.
