United States Congressman, Riley Moore has described Nigeria as the most dangerous place in the world be a Christian following allegations of killing of Christians by Islamist extremist groups and bandits.
Moore who has been one of most vocal US lawmakers condemning alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, posted on his X handle on Monday that verified records have shown that between 2009 and 2025, around 50,000 to 100,000 of “brothers and sisters in Christ have been martyred” with 7,000 killed this year alone.
“50,000-100,000 of our brothers and sisters in Christ have been martyred since 2009 in Nigeria. 7,000 have been murdered this year alone. That’s 35 Christians murdered per day,” Moore wrote on the platform.
He went on to thank US President Donald Trump for designating Nigeria as “Country of Particular Concern” in a bid to end what he termed as the wanton bloodshed and for appointing him to lead an investigation in the House of Representatives.
“Thank you @POTUS for designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern to end this bloodshed, and for tasking me to lead this investigation in the House.”
Rep Moore also acknowledged efforts of @CatholicArena for helping shed light on genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
“Thank you @CatholicArena for helping to shed light on this genocide,” he wrote.
