“Four killed, 24 abducted, 73 houses razed in Chibok terror attack,” by Dogara Bitrus, Punch, January 26, 2022:
The Chairman of the Chibok Local Government Area, Borno State, Umar Ibrahim, has confirmed the death of four people during ISWAP attacks on different communities in the council over the weekend.
He also announced the abduction of 24 others by the insurgents.
Addressing the state Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, during a visit to Chibok, the chairman said the terrorists had intensified attacks on communities in the area due to its proximity to the Sambisa Forest, where the jihadists hide.
This was contained in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Isa Gusau.
Ibrahim, according to the statement, said in addition to the 24 people abducted, three persons were killed by the terrorists.
He disclosed that 110 buildings, made up of 73 houses, 33 shops and four churches, were burnt alongside eight vehicles and three tricycles….

As many as 2,000 Nigerian Christians are murdered by Islamists every year. This is a real genocide.
The Nigerian could stop the jihadists if they were determined to do so, but the government is infiltrated by Islamists and Islamist-sympathizers, and many people are afraid of themselves being assassinated by Muslim fanatics.

Tragically true.
My side of the family, unfortunately, contains a few Leftists.
As far as they are concerned, unless this story appeared on CNN, MSNBC, etc., it didn’t happen.
