United States Congressman Riley Moore has condemned the abduction of over 100 Christian worshippers in Kaduna State, calling it “horrific news” and urging the Nigerian government to secure their release.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Moore stated that armed radical Muslim Fulani militants attacked three churches on Sunday and kidnapped the worshippers.
He described Christians in Nigeria as facing an “existential threat” and called for greater protection for vulnerable communities.
Moore’s statement adds to international concern over the reported mass abduction, which local authorities have yet to officially confirm or provide details on.
The incident highlights ongoing security challenges and intercommunal tensions in Nigeria’s north-central region.
