Chad deports Nigerians fleeing jihadist violence

Chad has arrested and deported hundreds of Nigerians who fled jihadist violence in the Lake Chad region and sought safety in its territory, Nigerian and humanitarian sources say. Many of those affected are from states in northern Nigeria that have endured years of attacks by Boko Haram and other armed groups. According to Nigerian officials in Borno State, the Chadian authorities recently rounded up irregular Nigerian migrants in several towns and transported them to the border for return to Nigeria. Local sources say some of those detained had lived in Chad for years after fleeing earlier waves of insurgent attacks and had been surviving through informal work and begging. Humanitarian agencies report that thousands of Nigerians remain displaced around the Lake Chad Basin because of ongoing insecurity and repeated attacks by jihadist groups. Many crossed into neighbouring Chad, Niger and […]

Eight children missing after orphanage attack in Kogi

Eight children remain missing after an armed attack on an orphanage in Kogi State, in north-central Nigeria, authorities have confirmed. According to the state’s information commissioner, Kingsley Fanwo, gunmen stormed the unregistered facility on Sunday and abducted 23 children along with the orphanage’s owner. Security forces were able to rescue 15 of the children following what officials described as a rapid and coordinated response. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, security sources indicate the presence of a cell linked to Boko Haram in the area, which has experienced repeated incidents of violence. The commissioner noted that the orphanage was operating without official authorization and was located in a remote area, outside the oversight of relevant authorities. He called on operators of similar institutions to ensure proper registration and coordination with government agencies, particularly given the current security […]

Nigerian officials involved in killing of Christians — US Senator Ted Cruz

United States senator Ted Cruz has alleged that some Nigerian government officials are complicit in attacks against Christians in the country.​ Cruz made the claim during a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee hearing on Washington’s counterterrorism strategy in Africa, where he described Nigeria as the country with the highest number of Christians killed because of their faith. He said that since 2009, more than 50,000 Christians have been killed and over 20,000 churches, schools and other religious buildings destroyed.​ “Nigerian officials have been, unfortunately, complicit in facilitating these atrocities,” he told the hearing, linking part of the violence to the operation of Sharia law in some northern states and criticising what he called the slow response of Nigerian authorities to insecurity.​ Cruz recalled earlier meetings with Nigerian defence and security officials, saying they had promised to tackle the violence but […]

Presidency defends troops’ record highlights gains in anti terror war

The Presidency has rejected growing criticism of Nigeria’s security situation and insisted that the armed forces are making steady progress against terrorists, bandits and other criminal groups across the country. In a statement released on Tuesday, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga said recent military operations in different regions show that troops are degrading criminal networks and rescuing victims despite ongoing challenges. He argued that isolated attacks often dominate public debate and tend to overshadow consistent successes recorded on the ground. Onanuga said operational reports indicate intensified offensives against insurgents, kidnappers, militias and other non state actors, leading to multiple rescues, arrests and neutralisation of threats. He added that the sacrifices of personnel, including those who have paid the supreme price, are frequently downplayed in public conversations. He cited recent operations in Benue State, where […]

Airstrike kills terrorists at Jilli market amid civilian casualty fears

An airstrike on Jilli market, a boundary community between Borno and Yobe states, has killed many suspected terrorists but also raised fears of heavy civilian casualties. The Nigerian Air Force confirmed that its Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai carried out precision follow up strikes on Saturday evening against what it described as a terrorist logistics hub in the Jilli axis. Military authorities said the operation followed sustained intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over the Bindul Jilli corridor, a known route for Islamic State West Africa Province fighters using gun trucks and motorcycles. According to the Joint Task Force, the airstrike neutralised scores of insurgents and destroyed their vehicles and supplies, disrupting planned attacks on troops in the area. However, local accounts suggest that a busy market frequented by traders was hit during the operation, with many civilians feared dead and […]

Nigeria jails nearly 400 over militant links

Nearly 400 individuals in Nigeria have been convicted for their involvement with militant Islamist groups after a series of large-scale court proceedings. Those found guilty received prison sentences ranging from five years to life imprisonment. Authorities linked the convictions to affiliations with Boko Haram and its offshoot, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). These trials come amid growing concerns over insecurity in the country, as the government faces increasing pressure to restore stability. Nigerian security forces continue to confront a wide range of threats, including extremist groups, separatist movements, and kidnapping networks. The Boko Haram insurgency, which began in 2009 in the northeast, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and forced more than two million people to flee their homes, according to humanitarian organisations. Amid the worsening security environment, the United States recently advised its citizens to […]
