Nigeria: Muslims launch third jihad attack in less than a week in one area, murdering at least 14 people
The objective is to terrorize the non-Muslims into leaving the area, so that before too long it’s a Muslim area, and the scope of Islamic hegemony expands.
“The Adamawa State Police Command has acknowledged the recent wave of violence but stated that situations in affected communities are being brought under control.”
This is sheer blague. The situation is not being brought under control. The jihad in Nigeria has been raging for years, and is not being countered effectively. It will continue.
B’Haram’s 3rd Strike in 6 Days Leaves Hong, Adamawa in Ruins
as Many Killed, Scores Injured
by Emmanuel Kwada, TG News, December 30, 2025:
In a chilling escalation of violence during the festive season, suspected Boko Haram insurgents launched their third deadly attack in less than a week on communities in Hong Local Government Area (LGA) of Adamawa State, leaving the villages of Mubang and Zah in ruins.
The latest assault, which occurred on Monday evening around 6:00 PM, claimed the lives of at least 14 people, with many more injured and scores displaced amid widespread destruction.
Local resident Mr. Abalis Jawaja, speaking exclusively to reporters, described the attack as a “mayhem” that targeted vulnerable civilians, including women, youths, and elderly men. “Suspected Boko Haram members rained terror on Mubang village, killing indiscriminately,” he said.
Mubang, located about eight kilometers from Garaha – a major town in Hong LGA – and the neighboring Zah community bore the brunt of the coordinated raid. Attackers set fire to numerous homes, rendering entire families homeless, while looting food items and other valuables.
Jawaja noted that residents have ventured into nearby bushes in search of bodies of those who fled during the chaos but did not survive. “Over 14 persons are feared killed so far, and the toll could rise as searches continue,” he added.
The incident marks the third such strike in the area within six days, underscoring the persistent threat from Boko Haram and affiliated groups like the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in this border region.
Hong LGA, situated in northern Adamawa and adjacent to Borno State’s notorious Sambisa Forest – a longtime hideout for jihadist factions – has endured over a decade of intermittent attacks by insurgents, bandits, and terrorist elements.
Earlier incidents during the Christmas period included twin assaults on nearby communities, such as Mayo Ladde and Garaha districts, where at least two soldiers and several civilians were killed, according to reports from security sources and local media.
Troops from Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with police and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) members, have been deployed to the area, with intensified patrols aimed at repelling further incursions.
However, residents express growing frustration over the lack of permanent security presence, allowing militants to strike and retreat with relative ease.

Fulani Herdsmen Kill 13 Christians in Central Nigeria
Morning Star News, January 13, 2026:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen in Benue state, Nigeria killed four Christians on Monday (Jan. 12) and nine others on Jan. 5-6, sources said.
In Otobi Akpa village, Otukpo County, Fulani herdsmen arrived at midnight on Monday and shot four Christians who had been asleep in their homes, said resident Franca Akipu, who said dozens of others remain missing.
“The attack was carried out by Fulani herdsmen,” she told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “They shot at people who were sleeping. The gunshots were so loud that my mum was in panic throughout the night. Please keep my community in your prayers.”
Akipu identified the slain Christians as Ochi Igbade, Eje Uzu, Alinko and Achibi.
Previously Fulanis had attacked the village on April 15, killing 13 Christians and burning down 50 houses, she said. Community leader Adikwu Ogbe said they were attacked at about 6 p.m. on that day.
“The armed herdsmen invaded our community, shooting sporadically at anyone they sighted,” Ogbe told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “And when they retreated, 13 of our Christian members had been killed, while 50 houses were destroyed.”
In two other counties in Benue state, herdsmen killed five Christian on Jan. 6 and four others on Jan. 5, residents said.
In Kwande County, Fulani herdsmen on Jan. 6 killed five Christians as they were working on their farms in Udeku Maav-Ya village at about 4 p.m.
“This incident is not the first in this area, as these Fulani herdsmen have been persistent in attacking our communities,” said Tersua Yarkwan, chairman of the Kwande Local Government Council.
Council member Akerigba Lawrence also noted that residents of the area’s predominantly Christian villages “have constantly faced sustained attacks and destruction of their homes and farms.”…
