Riley Moore, a Congressman from the United States, has reiterated the need for a restructured police system in Nigeria, advocating for increased authority for state governments in managing local security.
In a statement shared on social media platform X, Moore urged the Nigerian Federal Government to enhance efforts aimed at safeguarding its citizens, particularly stressing the challenges faced by communities in the Middle Belt due to incessant attacks from extremist groups.
The Congressman has been actively addressing various security challenges within Nigeria, focusing on the persecution of Christians and the growing threat of extremist violence. His views align with the previous administration's stance under Donald Trump.
To engage more directly with the situation in Nigeria, Moore led a bipartisan congressional group to the country to gain firsthand insights. This delegation interacted with victims of violence, met with religious leaders, and held discussions with high-ranking government officials.
Additionally, Moore has been a strong proponent for Nigeria to be reinstated as a Country of Particular Concern due to reported widespread religious oppression. This classification was originally established during the Trump administration.
