United States Congressman, Rep Riley Moore, has reiterated why the US cannot lift Nigeria from its Country of Particular Concern, CPC, designation.
In a post on his verified X handle on Tuesday, Moore insisted that Christians are being slaughtered across the Middle Belt of Nigeria with impunity.
His remark stemmed from the recent attack in Plateau State, where at least 23 persons were brutally killed after gunmen invaded a community in the state.
“This is exactly why the US Department of State cannot lift Nigeria’s CPC designation. Christians are being slaughtered across the Middle Belt with impunity.
“There may be progress in the north, but nothing has changed in the Middle Belt, where most attacks against Christians occur.
“We cannot make the same mistake the Biden administration made. Biden removed the CPC designation from Nigeria after President Trump’s first term and all hell broke loose on Christians. We must stop the genocide,” he tweeted.
DAILY POST recalls that the United States last year declared Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern due to the persistent killing of Christians in the country.
