Rep Riley M Moore alleged that Chinese nationals involved in illegal mining in Nigeria are funding terrorism and has submitted a report to President Trump for review.
United States Congressman Rep Riley M Moore has accused Chinese nationals engaged in illegal mining in Nigeria of sponsoring terrorism. Speaking to Fox News on Friday, the lawmaker alleged that the miners pay protection money to Islamic radicals, which is later used to finance terrorist activities in the country.
He said, “Earlier this week, I delivered my report to President Trump detailing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. One key point that has been missing from much of the coverage is that the Chinese are running illegal rare earth mineral mining operations in Nigeria. They are paying protection money to radical Islamic terrorists who use that money to finance their operations to persecute and kill our brothers and sisters in Christ”.
