United States Congressman Riley M. Moore has expressed deep concern over the abduction of 25 schoolgirls from Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Danko/Wasagu LGA of Kebbi State
Armed attackers reportedly stormed the school in the early hours of Monday, killing the Vice Principal and whisking away dozens of students.
Reacting in a post on his official X handle, Congressman Moore stated that the attack took place in what he described as a Christian enclave in Northern Nigeria. He reiterated his long-standing concern about what he believes to be ongoing genocide and targeted violence against Christians in the region.
He urged the Nigerian government to take urgent action to curb the widespread attacks and restore safety for vulnerable communities.
Moore wrote:
“Please join me in praying for the 25 girls who have been kidnapped and for the repose of the soul of their vice principal who was killed.
While we don’t have all the details on this horrific attack, we know that it occurred in a Christian enclave in Northern Nigeria.
The Nigerian government must do more to end the rampant violence.”
