The lawmaker representing West Virginia’s 2nd District in the United States Congress, Rep Riley Moore, said last week was bloody for Christians in Nigeria. “The last week has been some of the most horrifically bloody days in recent history for Christians across Nigeria. “The genocide of Christians must end, and it falls squarely on the Nigerian government’s shoulders to defend its citizens – all of its citizens – and end this violent persecution. He revealed that Fulani and Islamic radicals were attacking Christians who sought refuge in Internally Displaced Camps in Benue State. The Congressman was part of a delegation sent by U.S President Donald Trump on a fact-finding mission concerning Christian persecution in Nigeria.
