“Taraba Gov. Kefas Agbu… said he would ensure the assailants would be found, arrested and prosecuted.”
Hardly anything is less likely to happen than that. The jihad in Nigeria has been going on for years, amid numerous government promises to stop the jihadis. Those promises are never kept. This one won’t be, either.
“Herdsmen Slaughter 42 Christians in Taraba State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, May 26, 2025:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen in the early hours of Saturday (May 24) killed 42 people in three predominantly Christian communities in Taraba state, northeast Nigeria, sources said.
In Karim Lamido County, the assailants invaded Munga Dosso, Munga Lelau and Bandawa villages, destroying homes as well as slaughtering residents, according to officials and residents.
“My people in Karim Lamido Local Government Area, who are mostly Christians, have been attacked by Fulani herdsmen. Our houses have been burnt, and more than 42 Christians killed,” Miriam Silas told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News in a text message.
Taraba Gov. Kefas Agbu described the attacks as a “direct assault on the peace- loving people of the area” and “horrendous and unacceptable.”
The governor said he would ensure the assailants would be found, arrested and prosecuted.
“Our citizens’ safety is my top priority. We have activated all necessary security measures to prevent further violence and bring those responsible to book,” Agbu said through a statement by spokesman Emmanuel Bello.
Area residents sent distressed messages on Saturday (May 24).
“A devastating attack by herdsmen on three communities has claimed the lives of 42 Christians and forced hundreds of others to flee their homes the early morning of Saturday,” Obadiah Abbawa said in a text message. “The attack led to the destruction of houses and left the communities in complete ruins.”
Another area resident, Zion Chaffi, said, “Karim Lamido area is being attacked by Fulani herdsmen. Pray for God’s intervention for us.”…
Numbering in the millions across Nigeria and the Sahel, predominantly Muslim Fulani comprise hundreds of clans of many different lineages who do not hold extremist views, but some Fulani do adhere to radical Islamist ideology, the United Kingdom’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom or Belief (APPG) noted in a 2020 report.
“They adopt a comparable strategy to Boko Haram and ISWAP and demonstrate a clear intent to target Christians and potent symbols of Christian identity,” the APPG report states….

If the governor is honest, he may want to find, arrest and punish the mozscum who ‘stole, killed and destroyed,’ but he will have to admit that he’s pretty much unable to do those things.
The national government is made up of the same evil creatures as the “fulani herdsmen.’
I do pray that God will soon bring a complete and permanent end to this evil from satan, “The thief,’ who “comes to steal, kill and destroy.”

Perhaps the Christians in Nigeria should forget about their government saving/protecting them and take matters into their own hands. That would be allowed, right??

Those people have no way of getting any kinds of weapons to use against the scourge. They are poor, live in shacks, small villages, farm and fish.

somehistory,
US special forces could get them weapons, but there certainly are risks.
somehistory says
Yes, James, they could, but probably won’t.
The Christians would likely need some training too, and the news of that would anger the mozscummy mobs.
James Lincoln says
Thanks for your reply, somehistory.
Perhaps Pres. Trump could invite Bola Tinubu into the Oval Office – and then embarrass him publicly about the genocide of Christians in his own country.

Muslims killing Christians on a daily basis, and Christian nations still open the borders to the muslim/migration invasion of their countries. Makes absolutely no sense.
