Nigerian Christians have come under threat once again, as more than 150 individuals have been kidnapped by Islamic militants.

Heavily armed Fulani extremists reportedly stormed multiple churches in the Kaduna region of Nigeria, where congregants were forced out of their churches and were then abducted. Some reports claim that the number of congregants taken hostage could be as high as 177. 11 of the abductees have managed to escape, according to a local official.

Republican Rep. Riley Moore (WV-02), who was appointed to investigate the persecution of Nigerian Christians by President Trump, called for the Nigerian government to secure the release of the hostages on social media Monday afternoon.

“Our brothers and sisters in Christ are facing an existential threat at the hands of the Fulani militants,” Moore said. “More must be done to protect them, and I urge the Nigerian government to ensure the swift and safe return of all those who were captured.”

Trump has taken a hard stance against the persecution of Nigerian Christians. On Dec. 25, Trump ordered kinetic strikes against ISIS assets in northern Nigeria as the genocide against the region’s Christians continued.
