US lawmaker, Moore reacts to Kebbi school abduction, says ‘attack happened in a Christian community’

Rep. Riley M. Moore of the United States Congress has expressed concern over the tragic attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Monday, saw terrorists kill the school’s Vice Principal and abduct approximately 25 female students.

In a statement posted on his official X account, Congressman Moore noted that the attack took place in a predominantly Christian community in Northern Nigeria, highlighting the ongoing security challenges faced by vulnerable communities in the region.

The lawmaker, who believes that there is genocide against Christians in Nigeria, called on the Nigerian government to address the “rampant violence”

He 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 the attack occurred in a Christian enclave in Northern Nigeria.

“The Nigerian government must do more to end the rampant violence”.
