The United States House Committees on Appropriations and Foreign Affairs have submitted a report to the White House on the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
The report was presented Monday, following President Donald Trump’s decision to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern.
Congressman Riley Moore, who led the inquiry alongside Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole, confirmed the submission in a post on his X handle.
Moore said the findings were based on months of investigation, including hearings, consultations with religious leaders, visits to Internally Displaced Persons camps in Benue State, and meetings with Nigerian officials led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
“This report outlines concrete actions to end the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and counter growing extremist violence in the region,” Moore stated.
Recommendations include a bilateral US–Nigeria security agreement, sanctions and visa restrictions against perpetrators, and withholding certain US funds until Nigeria takes action.
The report also calls for repealing Sharia and blasphemy laws and working with partners such as France, Hungary, and the UK.
Moore urged Nigeria to strengthen ties with the US. “Our brothers and sisters in Christ have suffered in silence for too long. The world is now watching,” he said.
