U.S. Congressman Riley Moore has voiced profound concern after his recent trip to Benue State in Nigeria, where he encountered what he describes as some of the most distressing humanitarian conditions and violent accounts in his career.

Moore, you might remember, disclosed his visit to Nigeria as part of an inquiry into alleged persecution of Christians in the region.

During this visit, Moore joined a Congressional delegation under the leadership of the House Appropriations Committee. The team held discussions with Bishops Anagbe and Dugu, as well as the Tor Tiv. They also toured camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which are primarily home to Christian victims of ongoing assaults.

Moore shares his findings

Moore reported that these camps are often the target of attacks by armed groups identified as Fulani Islamic militants. He shared that he heard “heartbreaking stories,” including one from a woman whose five children were killed in an attack.

He described the experience as both unforgettable and deeply emotional, stating that it will “remain with [him] for the rest of [his] life.”

Moore to brief president Trump

The congressman revealed that he is now preparing a formal report to the US President, outlining recommendations for collaboration with the Nigerian government to curb the violence in the Middle Belt and address terrorist threats in the Northeast.

Moore added that he plans to brief the President soon, with further details expected to be released.

He said …

“I just returned from a Congressional delegation to Nigeria with @HouseAppropsGOP. While there, we visited Benue State.

We met with Bishops Anagbe and Dugu and Tor Tiv. We met with suffering IDPs who are all Christians. They are forced to live in camps that are regularly attacked by Fulani Islamic radicals.

We heard heartbreaking stories from survivors of this horrific genocidal campaign committed by the Fulani, including a woman who was forced to watch as five of her children were killed.

I’ve never seen anything like it. It will stay with me the rest of my life.

I am working on a report to @POTUS that will outline a path forward to work with the Nigerian government in a coordinated and cooperative manner to end the slaughter of innocent Christians in the Middle Belt and stop the ongoing terrorist threat in the Northeast.

We will brief the President soon. More to come.
