Congressman Riley Moore warns Nigerian terrorists not to test Trump’s resolve.

United States Congressman Riley Moore has warned that anyone who targets Christians in Nigeria will face repercussions.

Moore made the statement during an interview on NewsNation with anchor Anna Kooiman on Sunday.

He credited former President Donald Trump with ordering the joint Nigerian‑American operation that killed Abu‑Bilal al‑Minuki, who is identified as the second‑in‑command of ISIS worldwide.

The Republican lawmaker, who serves on the House Appropriations Committee, also discussed the recent strike and the broader crisis of religious persecution in northeastern Nigeria.

“President Trump is laser focused on defending our Christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria against the slaughter and martyrdom they’ve faced at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists,” Moore said.

“The strike on Abu‑Bilal al‑Minuki, ISIS Number 2 globally, sends a clear message: those who target innocent Christians will be hunted down and brought to justice. Do not test President Trump’s resolve,” Moore wrote on his X account on Monday, alongside a video clip of the interview.

According to him, the administration’s engagement with Nigeria intensified after Trump designated the country as a nation of particular concern on October 31 last year.

The lawmaker further said that Trump had personally directed him to investigate the situation.
