NAF Neutralizes Terrorists, Destroys Logistics Hub in Zamfara

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) executed precision airstrikes on November 14, 2025, targeting a major terrorist stronghold and logistics hub in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance identified the Sauri bandit camp as both a defensive shelter and logistics base, used to hide rustled livestock and support armed groups. NAF aircraft conducted multiple strike passes, destroying hideouts and logistics facilities, and neutralising numerous terrorists who tried to escape into surrounding vegetation. Post-operation assessments confirmed critical structures, supply resources, and several fighters were eliminated, crippling the group’s operational capacity. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, NAF spokesperson, said the successful operation reaffirms the commitment of Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke’s directive to “find them, hunt them down, and protect our people.” The strikes reflect ongoing counterterrorism efforts to deny bandits safe havens and restore peace and stability across […]

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 […]

 Sheikh Gumi Denies Fleeing Nigeria to Turkey to Escape Trump

Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has denied social media rumors claiming he fled Nigeria to hide in Turkey due to fears of US President Donald Trump’s threat of military intervention over alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. Gumi, currently in Turkey giving interviews, provided proof that his visa was obtained weeks before Trump’s November 1 tweet. Photos online had fueled suspicions, with users speculating Gumi’s ties to suspected terrorists led him to escape. Gumi called such claims “melancholy, concocted lies,” emphasizing Trump “has no power over us.” Gumi argued accusations of Christian genocide are “Islamophobia” and manipulation, sharing a message from a doctor alleging fake mass killings in the Middle Belt. He criticized Trump for spreading “dangerously deceptive” claims about violence in Nigeria. Gumi urged Nigerians not to trust external claims of genocide, invoking past examples of misinformation and insisting […]

Trump: Diplomatic Engagements Yielding Results — FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria says ongoing diplomatic dialogue with the US under President Trump is producing “positive results,” opening channels for mutual understanding and practical cooperation on security, economic, and religious tensions. Information Minister Mohammed Idris highlights better US appreciation of Nigeria's complex social challenges and urges continued partnership to combat terrorism. US Congressman Bill Huizenga criticizes Nigeria’s handling of Christian attacks, advocating economic sanctions over military intervention and calling out failures to protect all citizens. US-Nigeria ties face scrutiny after Trump’s viral remarks threatening intervention. Nigerian leaders argue for economic pressure rather than armed response. Vatican Envoy Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu and Northern CAN urge dialogue, not anger, to resolve religious violence, while Afenifere warns against full-scale US military campaigns—advocates intelligence sharing and limited operations via drones instead. Senator Orji Kalu affirms both Christians and Muslims are victims of […]

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified counter-terrorism and anti-bandit campaigns across the country, launching precision airstrikes that killed scores of ISWAP terrorists at Mallam Fatori and Shuwaram in Borno State. Strikes also destroyed bandit camps in Garin Dandi and Chigogo (Kwara) and Zango Hill (Kankara, Katsina).

 Catholic leaders decry herdsmen violence in Taraba

Catholic priests and community groups in Southern Taraba State have raised the alarm over renewed violence and killings allegedly perpetrated by armed herdsmen across multiple communities under the Catholic Diocese of Wukari. Rev. Fr. John Laikel, Director of Social Communications for the diocese, described the situation as “devastating,” noting many rural parishes have been abandoned after sustained assaults that have claimed lives and destroyed villages. “It is disheartening that attacks on innocent citizens keep happening despite government promises to stop the killings,” he said, highlighting a pattern he believes is aimed at seizing communities for grazing. Victims are often returnees who had only recent resettled. Laikel alleged that herdsmen not only kill and burn down homes but also graze cattle on victims’ farmlands and occupy deserted settlements. He called on federal, state, and local authorities to protect lives and property, […]
