A United States lawmaker, Riley Moore, has accused former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, of being complicit in the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
Moore made the allegation following Kwankwaso’s reaction to reports of a planned U.S. military intervention in Nigeria.
Taking to social media, Moore questioned the former governor’s record,
Kwankwaso, who served as Kano State governor when Sharia law was implemented in November 2000, had earlier responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks on Nigeria’s security situation.
In his statement, Kwankwaso cautioned the U.S. against taking unilateral action, describing Nigeria as a sovereign nation struggling with security threats that cut across religious and ethnic lines.
Kwankwaso also called for Nigeria to appoint special envoys and ambassadors to engage Washington constructively, insisting on unity over division among Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Moore has pledged to pursue investigations into what he described as “genocide against Christians” in Nigeria.
