A United States lawmaker, Riley Moore, has alleged that Fulani militants remain the largest perpetrators of violence against Christians in Nigeria.
His comments come amid recurring attacks on rural communities in Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa and parts of Southern Kaduna, where suspected armed Fulani herdsmen have been blamed for numerous violent incidents.
In a post shared on his X account on Wednesday, Moore said he had spent years investigating what he described as the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
The US lawmaker argued that while the administration of President Donald Trump had made significant progress in degrading the capabilities of the terrorist groups Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), attacks linked to armed Fulani militants continued to claim lives, particularly in Nigeria's Middle Belt.
"As I have been saying since I started investigating the genocide against Christians in Nigeria, Fulani militants are by far the largest perpetrators of violence against Christians in Nigeria," Moore wrote on X.
"Nevertheless, the Trump Administration has made historic progress against Boko Haram and ISWAP, but we must also stop the killing in the Middle Belt at the hands of the Fulani if we want to ensure our brothers and sisters in Christ are safe to live and worship without being murdered," he added.
