U.S. Congressman, Riley M Moore has reacted to a recent deadly
attack by the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP fighters in Adamawa
State.
The terrorists reportedly admitted to having killed 27
Christians and burnt at least 10 houses in the attack carried out in February.
According to an X post by a security expert, Brant Philip,
the terrorists, while owning up to the deadly attack, reiterated their call to
Nigerian Christians to “either pay the jizyah tax, convert to Islam, or be
killed, which they describe as a “fair deal”.
Reacting, Rep Moore in a post on X, lamented that the
bloodthirsty assailants are now forcing Christians to convert to Islam or be
killed.
The lawmaker urged the Nigerian government to immediately
step up and address the matter.
He wrote, “Christians continue to be explicitly targeted for
their faith in Nigeria.
“ISIS-West Africa is slaughtering Christians and telling
other Christians they must convert or die.
“In our report to the White House, we made it clear that
increased American support is contingent on the Nigerian government doing more
to defend Christians. Now is the time for Abuja to step up”.
