Insecurity: Boko Haram Blind To Faith, Target Muslims, Christians — Ndume by Omooba77(op): 12:18pm On Sep 03, 2025

Senator Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South) has said Boko Haram terrorists are blind to faith as they target Christians, Muslims as well as those who don’t believe in either of the two.

He appealed to Nigerians especially the media to resist the temptation of profiling victims of the terror gang’s atrocities and unite to defeat the insurgents.

The federal lawmaker made the appeal in a statement he issued in Abuja on Wednesday.

He was reacting to reports of weekend attacks in Ngoshe village, Gwoza Local Government Area and Mussa community in Askira-Uba Local Government Areas of Borno State.

In the two separate incidents, the insurgents killed five farmers in Ngoshe and Mussa villages over the weekend.

Of those killed, two Muslims were killed in Ngoshe while the three killed in Mussa were Christians who were murdered by the terror gang the following day. Both communities are located in Askira-Uba Local Government area of Borno State.

Media reports indicate that the terrorists also razed dozens of houses in the two attacks.

The former Chairman Senate Committee on Army said, “It is unethical and unconscionable for any media outlet to drive the narrative that Christians are the targets of these attacks by the terror group in Borno, or anywhere in North Eastern part of Nigeria.

“The forces behind these mindless killings are blind to faith and tribe. We should avoid this dangerous profiling which can distract us. It has the tendency of doing us more harm.

“It can even inflame negative passion in our soldiers, dampen the morale of men, who toil day and night, determined to ensure that they wipe away this dangerous sect.

“Our people, whose only pursuit is peace and livelihood, continue to fall victim to the cruelty of insurgents. These men and women deserved to live, to farm and to dream, but their lives are being cut short by those who thrive on violence and destruction.”

Ndume who commended the military for sustaining the battle against the terrorists restated his appeal to the federal government to increase funding and level of support for the men and women in uniform to boost their morale to do more.

Who is really bankrolling these insurgents in such a harsh economy?

How are they affording advanced arms, bullets, Hilux trucks, and motorbikes?

Why are there no arrests even after attacks? Are these people ghosts?

With the decades of policing experience at the NSA level (Ribadu), we are supposed to believe he doesn’t know what’s happening?

Banditry in Nigeria is clearly staged, to siphon billions from FAAC allocations meant for security and defense. Funds that should be going to healthcare, education, and youth empowerment are being funneled into a phantom insurgency.

We are not buying the “insurgent story.” This is a scam. Nigerian soldiers have proven themselves abroad. ECOMOG campaigns, peacekeeping operations,they can defeat insurgents and opposition. Yet, somehow, on home turf, we are made to look helpless.

When it started initially, some people were happy as their main target were Christians. Today the table has turned. Terrorists have no standard method of operation. Just as their main operation is in the north now, if not stopped years to come they might shift to the south.

Re: Insecurity: Boko Haram Blind To Faith, Target Muslims, Christians — Ndume by BlackViper: 1:17pm On Sep 03, 2025

This is of course another strategic lie. We all know who the ultimate targets are.

BH, Bandits and ISWAP are political actors seeking political supremacy. In order to achieve this upper hand, they have to overcome their biggest opposition which is the current Usman Dan Fodio created political elite in the North which has existed since the 19th century.

That is the reason why they take up arms against their co-religionists. It's not because of any ideological differences or because of any religious injunction. It's about political power and the creation of a new ruling class.

On the other hand these groups have an open hand to go after and subjugate anyone who doesn't share the same religious beliefs as them. This is what their religion teaches them, this is what their "prophet" taught them and this is what they have been doing for 1400 years.

I heard Ali Ndume children are in Nnpc and CBN, and wondering why he didn't enlist them in the military, but he want us to continue to boost morale of other people's children to fight boko haram. They are all Muslims and Ali Ndume should direct his anger towards them, not people who identify the religion boko haram claims they practice.

That's a lie.

Their main cause is religion.

We won't turn a blind eye to it.

But the problem with any form of violent non-state actor is that they never stick to their creed. They always cross their lines.

When they taste ill-gotten wealth, sex, or power, they wipe off any line that holds them back.

Ransom payments and taxes they collect on their own fund their activities. I always say if their victims spent the millions of naira getting armed and dangerous they would be left alone. Lions don't hunt porcupines because it's too much trouble. They don't need continuous cash injections from shadowy figure if the populace pays them. The government has already proven they're impotence so there's no reason not to be armed before they're the defato government.

Senator Ali Ndume is trying to separate the "religion-driven terrorists" from the Islamic religion itself.

What a feeble attempt at that.

The terrorists proclaim Islam, although a very violent brand, and are known "Muslims".

When the terrorists began their atrocities, their primary targets were Christians and their properties which included the burning down of churches.

As the orgy of bloodshed went on, many Muslims tacitly gave their backing by omission or commission while watching the horror movie with relish.

If in doubt, ask Sheikh Gumi.

Today, the dog is no longer listening to or obeying the call of the master as the terrorists go about killing innocent people indiscriminately not minding which religion their victims belong to.

What started as just a spark has now metamorphosed into a conflagration.

The bottomline is: not all Muslims are terrorists but, ALL terrorists are Muslims.

Ali Ndume: think about it!

Though the insurgents killed both Christians, Muslims and others but more than 90% of the insurgents are Muslims, that is a fact.

The Muslim leaders and clerics, political leaders and elites and traditional leaders in the north need to come together and find a lasting solutions to the insecurities in the region.

the northern leaders will never tell themselves the truth insecurity will finish in the north when ever the federal government transfer responsibility to states and stop funding fight against insecurity there should be state police atleast in the affected states. Or there should be regional security outfits like amotoakun

Initially my suspicion was that it was resistance to the 13% derivation payment that was made to the south.

Then it metamorphosed into general resource control and has the hands of foreign player’s involvement.

This is the most common diversion statement made by BK sponsors.
How are muslims and Christians affected equally when the goal of the terrorists is to 'islamize' Nigeria?
If you have any doubt about which religion is killing their opponents, just watch as they shout alla kuba as they chop off people's head, rape young girls and kill helpless farmers.
