Moore, speaking in a broadcast interview, described testimonies from victims as some of the most disturbing of his career and alleged that extremist groups were behind many of the killings. The planned briefing underscores how Nigeria’s internal security challenges are increasingly featuring in US political debates and among diaspora advocacy groups.
