A United States congressman, Riley Moore, has warned that continued attacks on Christians in Nigeria could strain diplomatic relations with the US, following reports of a deadly Palm Sunday assault in Jos, Plateau State. “This Palm Sunday, reports from Nigeria indicate that at least 10 Christians were martyred in the city of Jos. Radical Islamic terrorists opened fire on the Christians before hacking them to pieces with machetes. “This tragedy follows a pattern of radical Islamic terrorists massacring Christians on Holy Days. Moore called on the Federal Government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to urgently strengthen security measures ahead of upcoming religious events.
