Rep. Riley M. Moore of the United States Congress has expressed deep concern over the tragic attack at Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS) in Maga, Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The incident, which occurred early Monday morning, left the school’s Vice Principal dead and around 25 schoolgirls abducted, according to reports by DAILY POST. The assailants, described as terrorists, reportedly targeted the institution in a predominantly Christian area of Northern Nigeria.
In a statement on his official X account, Moore called on the Nigerian government to take urgent measures to curb the surge of violence in the region. 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 it occurred in a Christian enclave in Northern Nigeria. The Nigerian government must do more to end the rampant violence.”
Moore, who has previously highlighted concerns about attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria, emphasized the need for decisive action to prevent further tragedies.
