Some of you are very funny with your gaslighting attempts.
We were here in 2020, when Boko Haram slit the throats of 110 Zarbamari rice farmers in Koshebe, Borno State for cooperating with the military.
We were here in 2020, when 52 people were killed in Kadisau village, Katsina as revenge for the arrest of the bandit leaders's son.
We were here in 2021, when in Makazuka Niger State, 17 worshippers and 1 imam were murdered by bandits.
We were here in 2022, when Bello Turji's men fleeing Military operations went into several villages in Anka and Buyukkum Local governments, slaughtered overr 200 people, and burnt houses and food stores.
We were here in 2023 in Niger state when motorcycle bandits killed 55 people.
We were here in 2023 in Funtua, Katsina State when armed men stormed a MAWLID procession and killed 20 people.
Just this August 2025, Unguwar Mantau mosque in Katsina was attacked by bandits killing over 32 people.
This is different from so many killings in Niger, Sokoto, or Kwara.
We were here in 2021 when CBN under Emefiele was putting the blame on galloping food inflation squarely on bandit attacks and herders.
We were here when reports emerged of farmers paying bandits to be able to plant and and pay them to be able to harvest crops.
So when you come in November 2025 and claim Christians are being targeted for killings, why are you surprised, people push back and bring evidence the attack victims are indiscriminate.
Moreso, when you insist "Muslims too can talk about their victims too", while honing in on Benue, Plateau only, your motive is clear.
Other Muslim victims in so many states in North-West, North-Central and North-East doesn't concern you.
And you are deliberate not to mention South-West where victims of insecurity include vast number of Muslims too.
What you are interested in, is to frame it in religious terms.
If the searchlight is beamed on South-East for example where IPOB/ESN has committed exactly Shekau-level crimes. Forced abduction of girls, kidnapping, ransoms of victims, murder of innocent people, cannibalism, maiming of people, name it. It would give a real picture of widening insecurity and erase the religious rays being cast on insecurity.
You refuse to acknowledge the victims are thousands of Christians.
Apparently, some Christian blood are more sacred than others.
We know who you are.
Anyways, a little history lesson. The man in the picture is Collin Powell, and that picture was his pitch at the UN claiming that Iraq in 2003 had Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Even when several agencies disputed, Collin Powell, Dick Cheney and George Bush went in anyways into Iraq. It became clear not long that Iraq never had WMD's.
The society basically collapsed as several sections of Iraqi society resisted US invasion forces.
By the time they were done, 1 million Iraqis were killed.
And the Iraqi Christian population which was about 10% under Saddam Hussein had dropped to 2% when US was done.
Collin Powell would later apologise that, his claim was due to a failure of intelligence, even when every single body including the UN insisted there was scarcely any evidence Iraq had WMD's.
So, you really aren't as smart and mischievous as you think you are.
