VIDEO: President Trump’s Airstrikes Averted Nigerian Christians’ Massacre On Christmas Day
US Congressman Riley Moore has told Nigerian Christians to expect more support from the United States, revealing that the President Donald Trump-sanctioned airstrikes against terrorists in Sokoto averted faithful’s Massacre on Christmas day for the first time in two years.
The US on Christmas day launched “powerful and deadly” strikes against militants linked to the Islamic State group (IS) in north-western Nigeria, where militants had sought to establish a foothold.
Trump told Politico he ordered the 25 December strikes as “a Christmas present” – contradicting a statement by Nigerian officials.
Speaking in a recent interview, Moore said Nigerian Christians can expect more support from the United States, and “provide the type of support like we did on Christmas with 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles, which by the way was the first time in two years you’d not had Christians massacred on Christmas.”
According to him, the tables have turned, he asserted. “Instead, we had terrorists paying the price this Christmas.”
He said the U.S. military strike on Christmas against terrorist strongholds in Nigeria was just the first step. “This strike that we had was in coordination and cooperation with the Nigerian government. So, we are moving in a positive direction in all of this.”
Moore introduced a resolution in the House in November condemning the attacks on Christians in Nigeria and offering support for the Trump administration focus on the crimes.
