Trump says that the U.S. is “annihilating terrorists who are killing Christians” in Nigeria. Where exactly is this happening?
“Suspected Boko Haram Terrorists Kill Pastor, Burn Down Borno Village, Others Feared Dead,” Sahara Reporters, January 23, 2026:
Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have reportedly killed an Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria (EYN) pastor and four other residents during a deadly raid on Tarfa village in the Hawul Local Government Area of Borno State.
It was learnt that the attackers stormed the rural community at about 7pm on Thursday, riding on motorcycles, firing sporadically and setting houses and shops ablaze, forcing residents to flee in panic.
Sources said the terrorists operated freely for over one hour without any visible resistance from security operatives, leaving much of the village razed and residents displaced.
Confirming the attack on Friday, the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Borno State chapter, Most Rev. John Bakeni, said five people were killed, including the EYN pastor serving the community.
“Truly, there was an attack yesterday evening in a village called Tarfa. I was informed that five people were killed, including the EYN pastor there. The entire village was burnt down,” Bakeni told journalists.
Eyewitnesses described the assault as devastating, saying the gunmen arrived in large numbers and unleashed terror on the helpless community.
“They came en masse and started burning houses and shops. People ran for their lives,” one resident said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Another source identified one of the victims as Pastor Evangelist Musa Umoru and appealed to the government to urgently deploy security operatives to the area, warning that survivors remain under serious threat.
“We are under constant fear. Five people were killed, including Pastor Musa Umoru. As I speak, I have fled Tarfa. We need urgent government intervention,” the source said….

I’ll be kind and give trump the song title of The Great Pretender.
Wack a mole requires more whacks if not just a photo op.

And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles

That’s an unanswerable questions like do you prefer to die by starvation or burned at the stake? Mousollini is better than Hitler but that’s not good enough.

Our Western Leaders do little to slow and ultimately stop the Islamization of the West despite President Trump’s claims. Our Western Leaders must find ways under Western Laws to make the practice of Islam illegal due to Islam’s funding, teaching, promotion, and support for discrimination, polygamy, segregation, violence, and terrorism against women, children, and Non-Muslims(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15; 98:6-7, etc.). Basically, Islam uses Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprises in Mosques, in Muslim Schools, in Muslim Courts, in Islamic Centers, etc. to ultimately conquer the Non-Muslims.
Allah’s Islam, a supremacist Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because due to their incitement for segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, and tyrannical violence(Qur’an 4:65; 9:5,29,111; 7:179; 8:22; 60:4; 98:6-7, etc.). Islam must be banned as illegal because Islam and its Muslims, enemies of Non-Muslims, are a Terrorist Organization.
Muslims are terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and their LIVES while undermining a society from within using the man-made book of lies and deceit, the Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”
MUSLIM BELIEVERS are a greater TERROR than Allah to make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. Also, Allah describes Muslim women in Jenna, Allah’s Paradise, as whores of Allah in Qur’an 56:37.

Not really breaking news, but thank you for reporting it. This same thing has been happening in many parts of Africa most every month for many years. Please go to Voice of the Martyrs and Open Doors websites for greater perspective.
Robert Spencer says
In reality, we have been covering it here for 22 years. Scroll: https://jihadwatch.org/category/nigeria
There is simply no need for you to come here and pretend that our coverage has been deficient when you clearly have no idea what we have been doing. Any more of this and you’ll be banned.
Bill says
Didn’t mean to offend but also didn’t know the extent of sensitivity.
Robert Spencer says
It’s just clear that you have an agenda to degrade the work we’re doing here. It will not be tolerated.
Bill says
This really isn’t breaking news, but thank you for reporting it. This same thing has been happening in parts of Africa most every month for many years. The MSM love their Muslims and their savagery against Christians and are loathe to report it.
Robert Spencer says
It is actually breaking news. The report we quoted is from Thursday. The fact that it happens frequently does not mean that each individual incident is not newsworthy, or somehow instantly becomes old news.
John Smith says
Bill there have been occasions that you have not just been rude to me, but you’ve also been extremely rude and absolutely obnoxious to others. Are you muslim , I just don’t know , but as you are well aware it has entered my mind. You’ve attacked me on several occasions and many others here for no reason at all, now you’re attacking Mr Spencer who is providing us with so much information. You are not making yourself any friends here, you’re certainly not, shame on you.
Bill says
Thought I’m muslim??? Of course not. Absolutely obnoxious, extremely rude and attacking, and on several occasions to you? Sorry if you think so. I’ve only ever posted eight or ten times at all, you may have me mixed up with someone else.
John Smith says
Rubbish, you’ve been posting here for years Bill
Bill says
There are millions of John Smith’s, correct?
Bill says
Also a lot of Bill’s, so you can consider that.
