Rep. Moore, in an interview with Fox News, said the first requirement is the release of Sunday Jackson, who was sentenced to de@th for k!lling a Fulani herdsman in what he claimed was self-defence.
US Congressman Riley Moore has outlined two key conditions the Nigerian government must fulfil before the United States can consider any military partnership to help tackle the nation’s escalating security crisis.
Rep. Moore, in an interview with Fox News, said the first requirement is the release of Sunday Jackson, who was sentenced to de@th for k!lling a Fulani herdsman in what he claimed was self-defence.
Recall Jackson received the de@th sentence after k!lling a herdsman who allegedly invaded his farm.
In the interview, the Republican lawmaker insisted that the young man must be released before the US would consider partnering with Nigeria to tackle the decade-long security crisis.
He added that the second requirement is for the Nigerian government to present a credible plan to disarm Fulani herdsmen who are causing unrest in the Middle Belt.
He said, “It sounds like they are open to partner with the United States to stop these k!llings. They met with myself and the administration as well.
“We made some progress in getting them to place to partner with us to stop these k!llings but there is a lot of things they need to do and I think one of the first steps is releasing Sunday Jackson.
“Another one of coming up working with us with a plan to disarm the radical Fulani militants in the Middle Belt of the country.”
