Tinubu condemns Borno abductions, urges Nigerians to resist fear

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has condemned the recent terrorist attack and mass abductions in Ngoshe community, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, and urged Nigerians not to give in to fear.

The attack left several people dead and many others kidnapped shortly after residents had broken their fast on Wednesday evening.

US lawmaker: Christians suffer most from Nigeria’s violence, urges Trump to act

United States lawmaker Riley Moore says Christians have borne the overwhelming brunt of violent attacks in Nigeria for over 20 years and urged President Donald Trump to take decisive action.​ Moore said insecurity affects people of all faiths but insisted that Christians are disproportionately targeted. He claimed Christians are about five times more likely to be killed than any other religious group and accused Fulani militias and terrorist organisations of repeatedly attacking Christian communities, pastors and priests, and burning schools and churches, often on holy days.​ He praised Trump’s readiness to defend Christians globally and described the current moment as a once in a generation opportunity to deepen US–Nigeria relations while confronting the crisis. He acknowledged that Nigeria needs support to tackle insecurity but said President Bola Tinubu’s government must show stronger political will.​ Moore argued that any future bilateral […]

First batch of US troops arrive Nigeria for anti terror mission

The first batch of United States military personnel has arrived in Nigeria to support new joint operations against terrorist groups in the country’s north. Officials say the deployment will focus on intelligence, training and advisory support for Nigerian forces rather than direct combat.

Fresh killings and abductions deepen security fears in Nigeria

Fresh killings, kidnappings and violent clashes in parts of Nigeria have heightened public fear over security as new intelligence reports warn that terrorist groups are stepping up drone attacks.
