NAF airstrikes crush terror cells in Katsina, foil ISWAP attack in Borno

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says its fighter jets have destroyed key terror cells in Katsina State and helped to repel a coordinated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP)/Boko Haram attack in Borno. NAF spokesperson Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame said the operations were carried out through intelligence‑driven precision strikes under Operation Fansan Yamma and Operation Hadin Kai.​ According to him, two separate strikes were launched on November 27 in Katsina under Sector 2 of Operation Fansan Yamma. The first, around 6:30 a.m., targeted the fortified base of a notorious terrorist kingpin linked to serial kidnappings, violent attacks and livestock rustling across Kankara, Faskari and Malumfashi Local Government Areas, with real‑time ISR guiding precision munitions that destroyed the camp and hit fleeing fighters.​ A second strike around 5:55 p.m. hit another major terrorist enclave in Danfako, Faskari LGA, taking out logistics […]

Protest hits Madrid over kidnappings of Nigerian schoolchildren

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the Nigerian embassy in Madrid on Saturday to protest the wave of school kidnappings in Nigeria and demand stronger international and domestic action. The rally was sparked by the abduction of more than 250 students from a Catholic school in northern Nigeria last week, which rights groups say is part of a years‑long pattern of mass student kidnappings.​ Christiana Wariboko, president of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, told the crowd they were speaking “on behalf of Christians” and urged foreign governments and institutions to intervene over what she described as continued killings of Nigerian Christians. The Madrid protest also highlighted a separate attack on a predominantly Muslim school in Kebbi State, where 30 students were seized before being freed by authorities, underscoring that kidnappers target schools of different faiths, often for ransom.​ The demonstrations […]

Troops repel fresh ISWAP attack in Chibok

Nigerian troops of the 28 Task Force Brigade under Sector 4 of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled another large-scale attack by ISWAP/Boko Haram fighters on Chibok in Borno State. The terrorists were said to have stormed the area in large numbers, but were confronted by soldiers who engaged them in a fierce firefight.​ Military sources quoted in the report said the insurgents attempted to infiltrate the town from multiple directions. However, the troops’ superior firepower and coordinated response forced the attackers to retreat in disarray.​ Several terrorists were reportedly killed in the encounter, while others fled with gunshot injuries. Weapons and ammunition were also recovered during a mop-up of the battlefield, though exact figures were not immediately disclosed.​ The latest incident is part of ongoing counter-insurgency operations aimed at protecting vulnerable communities in the North-East.

Trump Brands Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Groups

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating specific chapters of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as foreign terrorist organisations. The order mandates the Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary to implement broad sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans, within 45 days. The administration alleges that the targeted Muslim Brotherhood affiliates supported Hamas and Hezbollah during the conflict in Gaza, accusing them of supplying aid and participating in joint operations. Trump asserted that these measures are intended to dismantle the financial and operational networks fueling global terror. The move also comes amid a renewed White House crackdown on extremist groups in Africa. Trump recently warned Nigeria of possible cuts to US assistance and even military action if attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP are not addressed—a claim Nigeria’s government strongly rejects, stating that […]

U.S. Congress Highlights Alleged Christian Genocide in Nigeria

At a recent U.S. congressional hearing, lawmakers spotlighted alleged genocide and violent persecution of Christians in Nigeria, urging the Nigerian government to strengthen religious freedom, prosecute perpetrators, and secure lives and property. Congressman Riley Moore met Nigeria’s NSA Nuhu Ribadu and security chiefs in Washington, pressing for counterterrorism, security aid, and protection for vulnerable communities. U.S. State Department officials stressed that thousands of Christians have been killed over two years, citing attacks by Fulani militants and Boko Haram, and warned of humanitarian catastrophe if violence continues unchecked.

Bishop Wilfred Anagbe called Nigeria “the deadliest place to be a Christian,” with attacks intensifying and little accountability, risking the near-erasure of Christianity in affected regions. Nigerian officials discussed security challenges and […]

Tuggar Debates Genocide Claims With Ex-Canadian Politician on TV

A heated exchange occurred on Piers Morgan’s show as Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister, Yusuf Tuggar, debated with former Canadian lawmaker Goldie Ghamari over claims of mass persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Tuggar rejected figures that claimed over 50,000 Christians have died since 2009, saying official data does not classify victims by religion and all lives are valued equally. He reported that in the past five years, 177 Christians had been killed and 102 churches attacked, countering higher numbers from international groups. Ghamari called Nigeria’s crisis a jihad and suggested links between the Nigerian government and the Islamic Republic of Iran. She criticized the Muslim identities of Nigeria’s president and vice president as problematic, but Tuggar dismissed her remarks, highlighting that Nigeria’s priority is national unity, not faith. Tuggar spoke of his own family’s loss to Boko Haram attacks and stressed […]

No Religious Persecution, Genocide in Nigeria — FG, AU Refute Trump’s Claims

The Nigerian Federal Government and African Union have firmly rejected claims of religious persecution and Christian genocide within Nigeria, labelling the allegations as false and damaging to the country’s image. Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tuggar demanded the full airing of his interview with Piers Morgan for transparency, arguing that selective edits could distort Nigeria’s reality and fuel false narratives. Information Minister Mohammed Idris emphasized that Nigeria guarantees religious freedom for all residents, stating that terrorism affects both Christians and Muslims indiscriminately, and is not religiously motivated. The government highlighted ongoing investments in security architecture to address terror and banditry, not religious conflict. African Union chair Mahamoud Ali Youssouf supported this by noting that Boko Haram’s primary victims are Muslims rather than Christians, and that labeling ongoing insecurity as genocide oversimplifies complex security challenges in Nigeria’s North. Nigerian Christian leaders, […]

African Union Chief Says ‘No Genocide’ in Nigeria’s Troubled North

African Union Commission chair Mahamoud Ali Youssouf has declared there is “no genocide in northern Nigeria,” refuting US President Donald Trump’s recent claims that Christians face mass slaughter at the hands of jihadists. Youssouf stated at a New York press conference that the “complexity of the situation in northern Nigeria should push us to think twice before making such statements.” Youssouf clarified that Boko Haram’s attacks have impacted both Muslim and Christian communities, with Muslims being “the first victims” of the insurgency. Nigeria, with a roughly equal Christian south and Muslim-majority north, experiences indiscriminate violence from jihadist groups, but not targeted Christian genocide. Since 2009, Boko Haram has killed more than 40,000 and displaced over two million, according to UN data. Youssouf stressed that mislabeling the crisis as genocide oversimplifies the grave security challenges facing Nigeria and risks misunderstanding the […]

Christian Genocide Debate in Nigeria Sparks Verbal Crossfire

A heated debate has erupted in Nigeria after renewed allegations of Christian genocide and calls for international intervention. The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has strongly denied claims of Christian genocide, calling such reports “dangerous and politically motivated.” The NSCIA argues that violence in Nigeria stems from poverty, criminality, and climate change, not religious intolerance. The President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Wale Oke, insisted “there is Christian genocide in Nigeria,” referencing attacks by extremist groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and noting hundreds of Christian victims across Benue, Taraba, Plateau, and other regions. PFN urged President Tinubu to cooperate with US President Trump to root out radical groups, but cautioned against the deployment of foreign troops. This verbal crossfire follows Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and threats of US military […]
