United States Congressman Riley Moore has urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to urgently confront armed groups in the Middle Belt following the abduction of over 300 children and 12 teachers from St Mary’s Catholic School in Niger State on Friday. In a statement shared on his X handle, Moore expressed deep outrage over the attack, stating that, as a father, witnessing such violence is unbearable and demands an immediate response.

Moore called for intensified efforts against those he accused of orchestrating the violence, insisting that the government must take decisive steps to address growing insecurity. He alleged that persecution targeting Christian communities in Nigeria is worsening, describing the situation as escalating beyond control. According to him, the rising wave of attacks requires stronger cooperation between Abuja and Washington to effectively combat the crisis.

Warning that continued violence could draw action from the US administration, Moore stressed that the killings and kidnappings must stop before the situation deteriorates further. With international pressure mounting and local outrage intensifying, will this latest call from Washington influence Nigeria’s next move on insecurity? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news
