US Congressman, Rep. Riley Moore, has said Fulani militants are by far the largest perpetrators of violence against Christians in Nigeria, even as he called for renewed US action to stop killings in the country’s Middle Belt.

In a post on X on Wednesday, Moore said he has been investigating the alleged genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

“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,” he wrote.

The Congressman acknowledged progress made by the Trump Administration against Boko Haram and ISWAP, two terrorist groups that have waged more than 15-year insurgency in Nigeria’s North East.
