President Donald Trump is focused on ending the slaughtering of Christians in Nigeria, US congressman, Riley Moore, has said.
Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives, said the bombardment of terrorist targets in Nigeria was meant to prevent the killing of Christians.
“So, quite a bit different, the President is totally focused on this. He made that very clear in this attack and and this is a very good first step to addressing this issue,” he said in a post on X.
The US on Christmas Day, launched air strikes against two terrorist enclaves in Bauni forest in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto state.
According to Moore, Christians in Nigeria were attacked by terrorists on Christmas Day in the last two years. He said Trump gave the terrorists a taste of their own medicine by launching attacks against them.
For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria.
This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.
Attaching a clip of his interview on Fox News, the US lawmaker said the air strikes, which were launched in collaboration with the Nigerian government, were meant to “end the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.”
“Obviously, President Trump has finally stood up to this and I do want to point out something very important: the last two Christmases, there has been a massacre of Christians in Nigeria,” he said.
“The tables have absolutely turned this year. The Islamic terrorists in Nigeria were the ones receiving that type of present this year.
“We did this in coordination with the Nigerian government, which is very important to point out. This isn’t the United States unilaterally doing this, we are doing this in coordination with the Nigerian government to help secure their country and end the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.”
The US lawmaker stated that those against the air strikes are “playing to their Islamic radical base that they now have to appease for whatever reason”.
