A United States congressman, Riley Moore, has stated that the military airstrike in Nigeria by President Donald Trump was done in coordination with the Nigerian government.
Naijaonpoint reports that Trump had launched airstrikes on terrorist enclaves in Bauni forest in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
Speaking on the situation via a post on 𝕏, Moore stated that Trump is committed to ending the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
According to him, the bombardment of terrorist targets in Nigeria was meant to prevent the killing of Christians.
He said, “We did this in coordination with the Nigerian government, which is very important to point out. This isn’t the United States unilaterally doing this; we are doing this in coordination with the Nigerian government to help secure their country and end the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.”
The congressman said Christians in Nigeria were attacked by terrorists on Christmas Day in the last two years, adding that Trump gave the terrorists a taste of their own medicine by launching attacks against them.
“So, quite a bit different, the President is totally focused on this. He made that very clear in this attack and, this is a very good first step to addressing this issue,” he added.
