The mosque may have been targeted because it was comprised of people who did not accept the Islamic State’s authority, and thus was considered heretical and apostate. “UPDATED: Five people dead as explosions rock Maiduguri ahead of Buhari’s visit,” by Dogara Bitrus, Punch, December 23, 2021: Five persons have been confirmed dead from bomb explosions […]

Nigeria: Catholic bishop accuses government of spending billions to rehabilitate jihadis while their victims suffer

Nigeria’s Muslim President downplays jihad attacks on Christians
The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has been repeatedly making the “false claim that the Nigerian government defeated Boko Haram.” He has also repeatedly downplayed the “herdsmen” who have been massacring Christians.
