A Nigerian writes me: “The Christian Association are so scared that they censor the activities of these Jihadists. But from the write-up you could tell the killers are quite obvious. They called them ‘terrorists’ who struck him at the ‘farm’. So it is clear, they know who did it. But they are trying to censor the news. ‘…after a raid on the farm by terrorists.’ Only the Fulani herdsmen/jihadists raid farms. They are also popularly called ‘bandits’ (part of the censorship by the Nigerian media).”
“Bandits gun down Catholic Priest, Fr. Vitus Borogo,” by Ochogwu Sunday, Daily Post, June 26, 2022:
Armed men suspected to be bandits have murdered a Catholic priest, Rev Fr. Vitus Borogo, in Kaduna State….
This was made known on Saturday night via a statement issued by Rev Fr Christian Emmanuel of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria.
The statement reads: ”It is with a heavy heart, but with total submission to the will of God that we announce the death of Rev. Fr. Vitus Borogo, which sad event took place today, at Prison Farm, Kujama, along Kaduna-Kachia Road, after a raid on the farm by terrorists….
Until his death, the 50-year-old priest was the Chaplain of the Catholic Community of the Kaduna State Polytechnic.
Rev Fr. Vitus was also the Chairman of the Nigerian Catholic Diocesan Priests Association (NCDPA), Kaduna Chapter.

This is what real JIHAD is like … it is DECEPTIVE, it is DUPLICITOUS, it is TREACHEROUS and Muslims have NO CONSCIENCE about it as long as it is SUCCESSFUL. The only way Christians will be able to defend themselves will be through an organized private company of armed guards who are also Christians, because Muslim guards cannot be trusted … they will be double agents who may betray the Christians to the Boko Haram. Even the Nigerian police and army are infiltrated by Muslim jihad sympathizers and they may not be trusted to do their duty of protecting the people.
Nigeria should hire Scotland Yard and other police of high professional standards to train the Nigerian police in professionalism, ethics and standards of conduct.
This genocide can be turned around if Nigerian leaders have the vision.

Mortimer,
Seldom have I disagreed with anything that you have written. After the police in Britain have turned a blind eye to the horrific child rape and in so many cases will not even describe the culprit when it is a Muslim slug, the high regard I used to have for the British police has evaporated. If I were to shop for trainers to teach and train true police morals, tactics and discipline, it would be the Israelis. However, as long as the Fulani sitting in Abuja is the president, nothing positive shall occur.

Sadly agree with Ray.
Another issue is that Nigeria shows no signs of even wanting to protect their people against Jihad terror. With a Muslim PM this should not surprise.

And his hopelessness the pope is silent and keeps on kissing Mullahs

Every week now for how many weeks? How many weeks have multiple attacks on multiple days?
Bloodthirsty, sons of demons, won’t stop on their own. They will only *be* stopped. And all people who have been following this situation know that the “president” of nigeria is also a “fulani” mozlum and because he refuses to do anything to stop his fellow mozlums from murdering the citizens of the country he is supposed to govern, he is also a terrorist.
mozlums have no shame and these in nigeria are carrying out the desires of the devil. they will reap as they have sown and are sowing.
Shema says
Christians need to stop worrying so much about the souls of others and start worrying about loving themselves.
Spreading the good news should be suspended in areas of an active enemy who kills you. Protect yourselves at all cost. Your life is worth more than the Muslim that kills you, isn’t it?

Nigeria: Muslims gun down Catholic priest
…………………………
This poor man. This is a full blown genocide against Christians.
wpm says
The Pope is very silent on this ,he is more concern with climate change and the faults of western governments .Maybe when he is giving meeting and kissing the next Moslem leaders ass in his palace paid for and upkeep paid for by the Catholics many of them under the thumb of Islamic jihadist he can bring up the subject with them.
James Lincoln says
The only way to protect Christians in Nigeria is for US military special forces to covertly arm them – and then extract them from Nigeria.
Those Christians would then be true asylum-seekers.
If something similar to this does not happen, the genocide of Christians in Nigeria will continue, unabated.
