Chad shuts border with Nigeria over security fears, possible terrorist infiltration
The Government of Chad has announced the immediate closure of its border with Nigeria, citing heightened security concerns following reports of alleged U.S. military plans in response to Christian killings and genocide in parts of West Africa.
Military sources in N’Djamena, headquarters of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), confirmed on Monday that President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno ordered a total military lockdown along the Nigerian border after intelligence indicated that terrorist elements in northern Nigeria were preparing to flee into Chad.
According to sources, the Chadian army has been placed on full alert, with troops and armoured vehicles deployed across key border corridors linking the two countries.

Ogboinbiri youth leadership condemns unlawful actions amid community crisis
The Vice President of Ogboinbiri Federated Youths, Comrade Job Tarilayefa Alpheaus, has issued a strong statement alongside other executive members, addressing the ongoing crisis in the Ogboinbiri community of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, Bayelsa State.

Of President Trump’s fast, vicious and sweet attack and Tinubu’s diplomatic blunders
For years, rivers of innocent blood have flowed across the valleys of Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, and Niger States. Christian communities have been burned out of existence; churches razed on Christmas Eve have become an annual tragedy in Northern Nigeria.
Year after year, the scenes repeat as worshippers are slaughtered, homes torched, and survivors left to pick through their ashes in silence. Yet, successive Nigerian governments have treated these horrors with the indifference of a spectator.
From the mass killings in Barkin Ladi and Bassa, to the razing of the village of the Yelewata community in the Guma Local Government Area (LGA) of Benue State, including Rumji, Kurmin Masara, and Asha-Awuce, Kunkum Daji, all in Southern Kaduna, the story remains painfully the same. Attacks are announced in advance, no arrests afterward, and statements of “deep concern” that lead nowhere. What began as isolated incidents has grown into a sustained campaign of terror against defenseless citizens, particularly Christians.
