US Congressman calls for sanctions, repeal of Sharia laws in Nigeria
US Congressman Riley M. Moore presented a report to the White House recommending sanctions and the repeal of blasphemy and Sharia laws in Nigeria to address violence against Christian communities. The bipartisan investigation, following a fact-finding visit to Nigeria, proposes establishing a bilateral security agreement to protect Christians and dismantle jihadist networks. It recommends withholding US funds until the Nigerian government acts against religious persecution and sanctions individuals complicit in violence. The report also calls for technical support to counter armed Fulani militias and collaboration with international partners like France and the UK. Moore stated the world is now watching as Christians have suffered in silence for too long.
