Urgent Dossier To Trump Details Alleged Campaign Of Violence Against Nigerian Christians

A United States congressional panel established by President Donald Trump to examine allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria has formally submitted its report to the White House.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The submission was announced by Congressman Riley M. Moore, who represents West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Moore shared the update late Monday via a post on his account, alongside a photograph of himself at the White House holding what appeared to be a copy of the report.

“Just presented our report on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria to the White House. More to come,” he wrote.

The panel was formed after President Trump redesignated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) in October 2025 over allegations of religious persecution targeting Christians.

Following that designation, Trump tasked Moore and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole with leading a congressional investigation into the claims.

Below is a reworded summary of the two-page report submitted by the panel:

Ending the Persecution of Christians in Nigeria

The U.S. Congress praised President Trump for redesignating Nigeria as a CPC, stating that the move aims to hold perpetrators accountable and pressure the Nigerian government to safeguard vulnerable communities and end religious persecution.

At the President’s request, Congressman Moore, Chairman Cole, and the House Appropriations Committee were directed to investigate reports of violence and killings involving Nigerian Christians. As part of the inquiry, Appropriations Vice Chair Mario Díaz-Balart convened an investigative roundtable and led a congressional delegation to Nigeria. In addition, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast and Africa Subcommittee Chairman Chris Smith conducted hearings to collect testimony from government officials and civil society representatives. Their joint efforts resulted in a set of recommendations.

Key Findings

The report asserts that, after decades of violence, Nigeria has become one of the most dangerous places in the world for Christians. It states that Christian communities face repeated attacks from armed Fulani militias and terrorist groups, leading to thousands of deaths, including clergy members, as well as the destruction of churches and schools and widespread kidnappings.

The report also criticizes the use of blasphemy laws in some northern states, arguing that they are applied to suppress speech, target Christians and other minorities, and justify convictions without due process.

Lawmakers contend that President Trump’s actions and congressional involvement present a rare opportunity to address the long-running crisis. While recognizing Nigeria as an important U.S. partner, the report emphasizes that the Nigerian government must demonstrate stronger political commitment, including allocating its own resources, to curb and ultimately end the violence. It further proposes redefining the U.S.–Nigeria strategic partnership to enhance security and economic cooperation.

Major Recommendations

The panel recommends negotiating a bilateral agreement between the United States and Nigeria focused on protecting vulnerable Christian communities, combating extremist violence, strengthening economic ties, and countering foreign adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party and the Russian Federation.

Key proposals include:

• Requiring Nigeria to co-fund humanitarian assistance efforts, particularly for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the predominantly Christian Middle Belt region.

• Strengthening early-warning systems and deploying adequate security forces to prevent attacks and kidnappings.

• Removing armed groups from seized farmland and facilitating the safe return of displaced communities.

• Expanding security cooperation with the United States, including transitioning from Russian to American military equipment.

The report also calls for technical assistance to help Nigeria disarm and reintegrate militia members, support livestock and land reform initiatives, and improve the capacity and responsiveness of security forces.

Additional recommendations include expanded counter-terrorism cooperation, measures to curb illicit foreign mining activities allegedly linked to militia funding, stricter oversight of U.S. aid, sanctions against individuals and groups involved in anti-Christian violence, continued visa restrictions, and diplomatic engagement with international partners such as France, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.

The panel further urges enhanced staffing at U.S. diplomatic missions in Nigeria, faster foreign military sales processes, and the preparation of a National Intelligence Estimate assessing sectarian violence and the possible designation of certain militia groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
