Nigeria: Islamic jihadis murder at least nine people with IEDs at village bus stop
Mairari is abandoned because of jihad attacks. That’s just what the jihadis want. They then move in their people, and the dar al-Islam expands at the expense of the dar al-harb. We have seen this in Lebanon and innumerable other places.
Nine killed by Boko Haram IEDs at Borno village bus stop
by Timothy Enietan-Matthews, Ripples Nigeria, June 1, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
At least nine people lost their lives when Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted by Boko Haram terrorists exploded at a bus stop in Mairari village, Guzamala Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State.
Mairari village is situated about 18 kilometers from Monguno and roughly 119 kilometers from Maiduguri, the state capital.
The attack, which also left several others injured, took place while passengers waited for transport at the local bus stop.
Confirming the incident, Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abdulkarim Lawan, condemned the brutal act and called on the military to intensify operations to liberate Guzamala LGA from Boko Haram’s hold….
Highlighting the need for security and civilian governance, the speaker pointed out that Mairari, which had previously been resettled twice, remains abandoned due to persistent Boko Haram and ISWAP attacks.
“You are aware that Mairari village which was hitherto the only village that was resettled two times with civil authority in the whole of Guzamala local government area has remained deserted again due to Boko Haram/ISWAP attacks,” he explained….
Nigeria: Muslims murder 70-year-old pastor and 35 other Christians in jihad raids on Christian communities
“Bokkos has never been this insecure, with Christians being butchered like what we are currently witnessing.”
That in itself indicates that the jihad in Nigeria has the full support of the Nigerian government. If it didn’t, they’d have stopped it long ago.
Herdsmen Kill 70-Year-Old Pastor, 35 other Christians in Nigeria
Morning Star News, June 4, 2025:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen this week killed at least nine Christians in Plateau state, Nigeria, following the slaughter of 27 others days before, sources said.
The attacks took place in Bokkos County in the predominantly Christian communities of Hokk, Pangkap, Fokoldep, Kopmur, Margif, Horop, Mbor, Mushere and Kwahas, residents said.
Local resident Emmanuel Auta said nine Christians were killed in the Mushere area of Bokkos County on Sunday and Monday (June 1-2).
“Bokkos has never been this insecure, with Christians being butchered like what we are currently witnessing,” Auta told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “Two Christians were killed on Sunday, June 1, and additional seven Christians were killed on Monday, June 2, all in Mushere area of Bokkos Local Government Area.”
Another resident, Lilian Madaki, said the herdsmen had been attacking Bokkos County villages days before.
“For six days, Fulanis have continued to attack our communities which are predominantly Christian villages,” Madaki said in a text message. “Among some of the Christian victims that I know is a 14-year-old Christian teenager who was shot and wounded and is currently being treated at a hospital.”
Resident Dorcas Ishaya added that herdsmen on May 27 attacked Mbor, Margif and Mijing, “all Christian villages, and set fire on houses and killed many Christians. The attacks occurred at about 11 p.m.”
On late Monday night (June 2) the herdsmen invaded the predominantly Christian villages of Hokk, Pangkap and Fokoldep and were still shooting when area resident Yakubu Kefas sent an alert to Christian Daily International-Morning Star News on Tuesday (June 3).
“Christians are currently under intense and sustained gunfire from Fulani terrorist elements in Hokk, Pangkap, and Fokoldep Christian communities in Bokkos Local Government Area,” Kefas said.
The attacks began at about 11 p.m. the night before, he said.
“The attackers who we believe are Fulani terrorists are carrying out indiscriminate shootings, killings, and large-scale arson, resulting in widespread terror, Christian casualties and destruction of property,” Kefas said.
Residents reported the May 27 kidnapping and killing of the Rev. Mimang Lekyil, 70-year-old pastor of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) congregation in the Kwahas area of Mushere.

“The full name of the slain cleric is Rev. Mimang Lekyil; he was pastor in charge of COCIN Kwahas, Kawel in Mushere,” Kim told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “It was a case of kidnap. The pastor’s wife broke her leg during the incident; 11 other Christians were also killed in Bokkos, on Sunday, May 25.
Herdmen killed eight Christians in Kopmur village and another seven in Mbor community, said area resident Nanlop Joy.
