Recall that President Donald Trump, after redesignating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, mandated Congressman Riley Moore and Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole to lead a comprehensive investigation into the alleged persecution of Christian communities by terrorists and the security challenges plaguing Nigeria.
Moore confirmed the submission of the report on his X handle, @RepRileyMoore, on Monday evening.
Moore had earlier led a delegation on a fact-finding mission to Nigeria, visiting Internally Displaced Persons camps in Benue, speaking with victims of terrorism, and meeting government officials led by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
The findings of the report stem from interviews with expert witnesses, a hearing and roundtable, two on-the-ground assessments through bipartisan congressional delegations to Nigeria, and close partnership with the Trump administration.
Moore stated that the US team now has a clear picture of the threats in Nigeria and the alleged persecution Christians face.
He said it was expedient for the Nigerian government to seize the opportunity to deepen and strengthen its relationship with the United States.
