The idea for an attack of this kind comes straight from the Qur’an: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” — Qur’an 8:60
An update on this story. “Nigeria massacre: Islamic State West Africa Province claims responsibility for killing 25 Christians; Toll rises to 29,” by Vishnu Aravind, Organiser, April 29, 2026:
Gunmen killed at least 29 people in northeastern Nigeria in a brutal assault now claimed by Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), with the group stating it had killed at least 25 Christians in the attack. The violence unfolded on Sunday in Guyaku community in Gombi Local Government Area of Adamawa state, a region bordering Cameroon and known for recurring jihadist activity. Residents said the attackers struck a football gathering, where young people had assembled. Witnesses reported that gunmen entered the area and opened fire indiscriminately on the crowd. “Our people converged at a football pitch in Guyaku community [and] were attacked by insurgents who entered with guns and began shooting randomly,” a resident told AFP. Most of the victims were youths, including women who had gathered to watch the game. Local accounts described widespread destruction, with homes, vehicles and Churches set ablaze during the assault.
Christians targeted as ISWAP claims responsibility
Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri visited the site and confirmed that fewer than 29 people were killed in a deadly attack on Guyaku community, according to his office. He condemned the killings and vowed swift action, stating that security operations would be intensified immediately to restore order. While authorities initially blamed Boko Haram militants, ISWAP later claimed responsibility through a statement reported by the SITE monitoring group. The group said it had “killed at least 25 Christians and torched a church and nearly 100 motorcycles,” underscoring the scale and targeted nature of the attack. Television footage from the area showed a burned church and several charred motorcycles, reinforcing eyewitness accounts of destruction. Community leaders said the attackers operated for several hours, attacking civilians and destroying property without immediate resistance.
David Lakatos says
Muhammad has been blaspheming Jesus and killing Christians since the 7th century. 60 million Christians killed by the so called religion of peace. And there still killing Christian to this day. Islamophobia is as phony as Islam is. It’s more like Islam has a phobia about anything not Islamic. Islam the religion of murdering Muhammadian jihadist slave traders
Billy says
To guarantee a Muslim’s chance to gain Allah’s Garden Paradise, a Muslim must kill and must be killed in war for Allah to make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”.
David Lakatos says
Islam the religion of peace.
killed 80 million Hindus

killed 100 million Jews
David Lakatos says
Muhammad has been terrorizing the Holy Land for 1400 years.

The government doesn’t “resist.” And what brave muzzies….attacking a group of young people playing ball along with family and friends attending to watch. Such courage it took to strike, to murder, to burn and destroy.
The Christians have faith ;and those surviving will continue to pursue righteousness, while the sons of their enemy keep destroying, murdering innocent people and bragging about having done so.

In Nigeria those violent and vicious Muslims who are jihadists of ISIS who murder all those Christian youth and even before that These jihad-minded Muslim who had earlier engaged murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.
Walter Sieruk says
As in the days of Nehemiah when he and his men were busy in the reconstruction of the walls around Jerusalem and the Arab became furious and indigent at this at this grand project of the rebuilding of the walls. Neh 4:1 and they thus despised the Jews , Neh. 4:4 ,and schemed terrorist attacks against them.
So the Jewish men set up watch for such attacks, Neh 4:8, therefore, on this watch they set up guards to be ready for those terrorists attacks , Neh 4;16.
Likewise, in this twenty –first century in areas of the world, as the nations of Nigeria, as well as in the counties of Pakistan , Iraq Syria , Indonesia,. The terrible fact is that Christians need to be “on watch and stand firm” First Corinthians 16:13.,as to be on guard from jihad-minded Muslim terrorist attacks against Christians .
For Christians together compose the symbolic body of Christ, Ephesians 1:13. 5:30.
Furthermore, it should be made known that the Muslim terrorists who engage in the persecution of Christians will not get away from the punishment of God for their wicked actions. As seen in Romans 14: 12. First Corinthians 3: 16, 17. Galatians 6:7.
Christians are instructed to “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong” First Corinthians 16:13. [N.I.V.]
Westman says
These Nigerian killers are child-minded physical adults carrying out their “Lord Of The Flies” fantasies – killing, booty, and sex slaves – adopted from the Quran.
If they were relentlessly hunted down and eliminated the terror would end. Frankly, it appears that, outside of Nigeria, though Nigerian jihadis are an embarassment to mainstream Islam, no government cares.
James Lincoln says
I was talking with an actual Navy SEAL the other day and he said that it would definitely be possible to covertly arm Christians in Nigeria.
Something has to be done.
Ayatrollah says
And the Islamic government does nothing.
somehistory says
“The militants had disguised themselves as civilians to mingle among unsuspecting Christian mourners.
Those at the wake in the village of Ntoyo in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had no clue until it was too late. The fighters from the Islamic State (IS)-linked Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) group suddenly began killing: hacking with axes and machetes and opening fire.
One witness said he saw fighters kill his sister with an axe. Another described how fighters broke into her house and abducted her four daughters. A third witness found the bodies of her parents in the morning. Her father had been shot while her mother had been struck with a hammer.
“I’d never seen so many bodies,” she told researchers from Amnesty International for a new report.
The massacre in early September 2025 killed at least 60 people and was one of a string of such attacks. The ADF has killed, kidnapped and tortured across swathes of eastern DRC.”
