The delusion of powerlessness is just what it is - delusion. The people that make us cower, what power do they have besides that which we willingly concede ?

Nigerian radical Islamist leads young volunteer cadets in parade chanting “Give me AK47 to go into the infidels in Jos, in Enugu on a Sunday and spray fire on them while they worship”

Amnesty International strongly condemns the brutal killing of renowned Islamic preacher Sheik Yahaya Masussuka who was killed today by gunmen on motorbikes as he stepped out of his house in Dutsin Ma Katsina state, to go for usual evening preaching. The Nigerian authorities must immediately and effectively investigate the incident and ensure that those suspected of being responsible are brought to justice. Sheik Yahaya Masussuka had consistently used his preaching to promote cooperation, peaceful coexistence, interfaith dialogue and understanding among Muslim faithful. He was also notable for preaching against violent extremism and radicalization. The late Islamic cleric faced threats to life and intimidation — all through his life.

Sad 😢 💔 Eight residents, including a mother and her children, who were abducted in Kaduna State, have passed away after six months in captivity. Bandits stormed Awon village in Kachi Local Government Area of Southern Kaduna on April 20, 2026, abducting 11 residents.

Samaila Kaigama brought 416 women and children home from Boko Haram. Then he went on national television and said the government paid for them. A ransom, not a rescue. The DSS arrested him that same day. He is now charged with terrorism. One of the seven counts against him is organizing a protest against Senator Ali Ndume of the ruling APC. He has been in Kuje prison since July. His trial is November 13. #FreeKaigama

Christian youth leaders in Plateau State, Nigeria, credit joint Nigeria-U.S. counterterrorism efforts for saving lives. They disclosed that jihadist militants have seized at least 152 Christian hamlets and villages in the last two decades as part of a strategy to impose a caliphate in Africa’s most populous country. “Since the commencement of joint operations by the DSS, Mobile Police Force and Operation Rainbow, it has become clear that grazing cattle with batches of militants and terrorists carrying lethal weapons to attack hamlets and communities is a strategy of war and forceful occupation being unleashed on Plateau communities,” said the Plateau Indigenous Youth Bodies coalition led by human rights lawyer Solomon Dalyop.

Nigeria: A Christian mother, Liatu Samuel Dawa, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for the “crime” of evangelism. Liatu shared her faith with a woman in Borno State who later converted to Christianity. For that, Liatu is now behind bars and her family in hiding after Muslims threatened their lives. The judge, A.B. Kumdila, imposed the harsh sentence. This ruling is a gross miscarriage of justice. The disgraceful action must be overturned and Liatu immediately returned safely to her family. Free Liatu Dawa.

I still remember the pregnant woman who was kidnapped by bandits and gave birth to twins prematurely in captivity. The bandit leader threw her newborn twins to his dogs. As the helpless babies were being torn apart, he raped their mother, who was still bleeding from childbirth. Imagine the screams. Imagine the helplessness. Imagine a mother watching her babies d!e in the most horrifying way, unable to save them. A kind of horror no human being should ever have to witness. She couldn't bear it, she ran mad immediately. Whenever I remember that woman, a cold shiver runs through my body. Somewhere, a family is still living with the unbearable pain of what happened to their daughter and grandchildren. No amount of tears can bring those babies back. No apology can erase that nightmare from the husband. This happened late last year, under this administration. Yet, some people are already campaigning for the same APC to remain in power. How does a government explain a country where innocent citizens can be kidnapped, brutalised, dehumanized and murdered? Have we become so politically blinded that the suffering of our fellow citizens no longer moves us? Don't you feel it when people are subjected to such horrors that should only happen in zombie movies? Shouldn't their lives matter more than party loyalty? How many more mothers must we watch suffer? How many more children must d!e before the government treats our security as the emergency it is? Our lives don't matter to this government. I feel like the people supporting this government are more evil and demonic than the government.

RT @masskeemz: At least 10 people killed this month in Plateau State, Nigeria in a wave of terror attacks often explained away as mere “far…

BREAKING: Policeman Killed, DSS Officer Injured in Fresh Attacks South of Jos, Nigeria At least three people have been killed and several others injured in a wave of violence 40-50miles south of Jos, the Plateau State capital. Among the casualties is a police officer killed in action and a Department of State Services (DSS) officer injured. The violence began on the night of Sunday, October 11, according to security sources. In Daress, a community in the Butura district of Bokkos Local Government Area, a Police Mobile Force officer identified as Inspector Sunny was shot and killed at his duty post shortly after sunset. Around the same time, in a separate incident about 10 miles away, two young men were ambushed and killed along the rural market road between Maikatako and Ruboi villages, also in Bokkos. In a third attack the same night, about 8 miles southwest of Daress, armed Fulani men attacked a residential home, leaving a father of three with critical gunshot injuries. Police responded to the scene and prevented further damage, according to local sources. The attacks continued into Monday, October 12. In Mangu LGA, farmers harvesting corn were attacked by armed men identified as Fulani, who destroyed their farmlands after the farmers fled. A joint team of DSS and Police officers from the Mangu Division responding to distress calls came under fire from the terrorists who reportedly used cattle as shield and decoy for the attacks. The shooting left one DSS operative injured and a patrol vehicle damaged, it was learned. Around the same time in Jos East, another group of terrorists ambushed a young man near Fewit village of Fursum District, leaving him for dead, locals say. The situation remains tense and fluid. Security operatives have been deployed to the affected areas. This is a developing story. We are monitoring for updates from the Plateau State Police Command and Operation Enduring Peace.

This is not normal and I wish them safe return. Once again it is actually in us to put an end to this. All we need do is put pressure on those who are empowered to keep us safe.

Nigerian Army’s 3 Division in Plateau State has been holding an Amnesty International Nigeria volunteer in unlawful detention for four days. Amnesty Nigeria says the Army also refused to let a lawyer see its volunteer, despite failing to hand him over to civil authorities.👇🏾

Thank you @laralogan for bringing attention to this matter

BREAKING: Residents of Bindin in Maru LGA of Zamfara State, have taken to the streets to protest the reported plan to withdraw security personnel from the area after nine security officers were killed in the community days ago. The residents say pulling out the personnel could leave Bindin and nearby communities even more vulnerable to attacks. They are calling for the security presence to remain, amid fears that the situation could worsen if the area is left without adequate protection.

Thousands of people women in hijabs have blocked a army convoy from leaving Bingi town in bungudu lga of Zamfara state... Locals are saying the army has be ordered to pull out of the town...... towns survival in this areas depends on the presence of the army.... This is arewa in 2026 🙏

BREAKING: The @HQNigerianArmy on Monday arrested Christian journalist and rights activist Lawrence Zongo at a military hospital in Jos where he had gone to visit family members attacked by armed Fulani militants the previous day. Zongo, a reporter with @TruthNigeria123 and volunteer with @AmnestyNigeria, has remained in custody without charges. Reports say military authorities are denying him access to lawyers and family. He had gone to the hospital at Maxwell Khobe Cantonment (Rukuba Barracks), HQ of 3 Division, to assist his cousins attacked Sunday night in Meyango, Bassa LGA. One of the victims — a first cousin — had died by the time Zongo arrived late Monday morning. Sources say while he was still processing the loss, soldiers arrested him and held him incommunicado. His only "offense," sources allege, was being a rights activist who visited the barracks wearing Ray-Ban glasses.
