Catholic Archbishop Martins to Tinubu: Act Fast, Nigeria Descending Into Chaos

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins, has publicly urged President Tinubu to respond decisively to the surge in terrorist attacks and insecurity across Nigeria, warning the country is descending into chaos. Referencing recent school kidnappings and the killing of Army General Muhammad Uba, Archbishop Martins said these crises echo the trauma of the 2014 Chibok abductions and show that security guarantees are lacking. Martins highlighted attacks on school staff—Vice Principal Hassan Yakubu Makuku and the Chief Security Officer at Eruku, Kwara—and criticized policy gaps that allowed terrorists to kill security personnel and abduct dozens of schoolgirls. He called for urgent identification and prosecution of terrorists and their sponsors, stressing that every citizen is at risk given the brazen level of violence. Martins expressed hope for the safe return of schoolchildren, called for collective prayer and action, and demanded […]

Why FG Hasn’t Prosecuted Terrorism Financiers – Minister

The Federal Government has not prosecuted suspected terrorism financiers because such cases require extensive, delicate investigations that cannot be rushed, according to Minister of Information Mohammed Idris. Speaking on Channels TV, Idris said the process is not as simple as having a list and moving suspects to court; solid evidence must first be gathered. Public pressure remains high, with critics linking delays to government complicity and growing insecurity. While some suspects were identified under past administrations, no high-profile cases have materialized in court, fueling distrust. Idris insisted progress is being made—highlighting that since May 2023, over 13,500 criminals have been neutralized, and 17,000 apprehended—with many already being tried or sentenced for security-related offenses. He called for patience and partnership with both domestic and foreign allies, emphasizing the complexity and diversity of Nigeria’s security crisis and ongoing diplomatic efforts to clarify […]

Heavy Security at Sokoto Prison Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Arrival

Security has been heightened around the Sokoto Custodial Centre after the transfer of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), following his life sentence on terrorism charges in Abuja. The court ordered his relocation to a “protective prison” due to previous prison breaks at Kuje. His lawyers and family confirmed the move, expressing concern about his safety and ability to consult with legal counsel. Eyewitnesses observed an unusual presence of armed personnel, with trucks of soldiers entering the premises. The Nigerian Correctional Service confirmed Kanu was in custody but would not confirm his exact location. Igbo leaders and groups—including Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Igbo National Council, and MASSOB—have rejected Kanu’s life sentence as unjust, calling for presidential intervention and warning that the judgment may fuel further insecurity and radicalisation in the South-East. The Minister of State for Foreign […]

Soyinka Faults Trump’s Threat: “Madness to Help with Guns a-Blazing”

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has condemned President Donald Trump’s threat of a US military invasion of Nigeria over alleged “Christian genocide,” describing the proposed intervention as “madness.” Soyinka, after meeting Benue’s Governor Hyacinth Alia, stated to journalists that offering “help” with “guns a-blazing” and poor understanding of complex crises is reckless and disrespectful to victims and those seeking genuine solutions. Trump had previously threatened to halt US aid and send troops to Nigeria to “wipe out the Islamic terrorists” if attacks on Christians continued. Soyinka argued that such an approach disregards the origins and complexities of insecurity in Nigeria, insisting on the need for thoughtful, respectful engagement and for local authorities to fulfill their duties to citizens. Soyinka urged international partners to respect Nigeria’s sovereignty and urged government leaders to keep working on solutions rooted in careful analysis, rather than […]

Pope Leo XIV: Violence in Nigeria Targets Both Christians and Muslims

Pope Leo XIV has stated that both Christians and Muslims are victims of Nigeria’s widespread violence, linking the crisis to extremist groups as well as economic and land-related conflicts. In a widely shared video interview from Castel Gandolfo, the Pope explained that “Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered,” and that danger exists in certain areas for all people, not just one religious group. He identified multiple causes for the bloodshed: “There’s a question of terrorism. There’s a question that has to do a lot with economics, if you will, and control of the lands that they have.” Pope Leo XIV urged the Nigerian government to step up efforts to protect all citizens and promote true religious freedom. The Pope previously referenced Nigeria among the countries where Christians face significant persecution, but emphasized a balanced view, recognizing victims across communities. His […]

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Congressman Bill Huizenga accused President Tinubu’s government of “sitting back” as insecurity rose. Lawmakers and State Department officials cited mass killings, targeted attacks by radical groups, and criticized Abuja for not doing enough or downplaying the crisis. Concerns were raised about a halted youth peacebuilding program and calls for rethinking U.S. aid to Nigeria. Recommendations included accountability for leaders, deeper scrutiny, and assistance focused on technical support and long-term reforms. Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]
