When we analysed the second image using Google Lens, we found that the photograph, which showed children who appeared malnourished and badly beaten, with whiplash-like marks on their backs and bodies, had been recycled by Nigerian accounts on different occasions, most recently during the Oyo school abduction. However, the earliest use of the image was in June 2020, when a Facebook page called Gambiza TV posted it, claiming that the children were brutalised by their Islamic teacher in the Niger Republic.

Video of the Boko Haram (JAS) attack ISWAP positions on islands in Lake Chad, Nigeria.

JAS claimed that ISWAP militants fled during the attack.
The JAS militants can also be heard saying “they are running ” in the video.

Let's take one example illustrative of some of the problems in the conversation about #Christiangenocide in Nigeria... A massacre by #ISWAP jihadists in Malam Karanti, a village near Baga, in the north of Borno State, in May 2025.

During ISSP (through Abu Musa) and Dogo Gide's exchanges it was noticed that Dogo didn't fully reject ISSP's idea of jihad against the Nigerian state, or its call to refrain from violence against civilians, rather he was accusing ISSP of extremism in "takfir", the act of taking a Muslim out of Islam, in particular he accused IS of making takfir of Osama bin Laden who he described as being the father of modern day jihad.

This is interesting as you wouldn't expect a Nigerian warlord loosely referred to as a "bandit" to revere such an important figure of modern salafi-jihadism, and is a clear indicator of the "jihadization" of Nigerian so-called banditry or outlawism.

IS obviously rejected such claim calling onto Dogo Gide to bring proof that the group makes takfir of Osama bin Laden, which it never did, but this also shows that Dogo Gide has some bias towards JNIM/Ansaru over the Islamic State, during the exchanges with Abu Musa he accused IS of fighting "with everyone" not just the government, taking example of IS in Syria who fought the Kurdish rebel groups, FSA, HTS and others.

He himself mentioned that he prefers JNIM over the Islamic State because they do not carry out amputations against who they accuse of robbery, while IS does so and has therefore put itself in a difficult position relative to the bandits.

Growing Nigerians involvement in mining activities in Algeria raises security concerns, as illegal mining exposes migrants to armed groups, weapons proliferation and areas beyond state control. Stronger monitoring and cross-border cooperation are urgently needed.

OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA: TROOPS NEUTRALISE TERRORIST, ARREST 2 SUSPECTS, RECOVER 2 AK-47 RIFLES AND AMMUNITION IN KATSINA, SOKOTO STATES

Troops of the Joint Task Force North West, Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY), have neutralised a terrorist and arrested two terrorists during separate operations conducted in Katsina and Sokoto States. The troops also recovered two AK-47 rifles, one motorcycles and ammunition during the operations.

On 10 November 2026, troops of Sector 1 received credible intelligence on the presence of armed terrorists at Bada'u Gora, Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State, who were reportedly planning to launch attacks on members of the local community. Acting on the intelligence, the troops swiftly established an ambush position along the suspected terrorists' route. On contact, the troops engaged the terrorists, neutralising one.

Items recovered during the operation include one AK-47 rifle, one magazine, 6 rounds of ammunition, one motorcycle and 3 mobile phones. The operation was conducted without any casualties on the part of the troops.

In a separate operation on 11 November 2026, troops of Sector 2 arrested two suspected terrorists during an intelligence-led operation at Bauni Forest, Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State. Items recovered from the suspects include one AK-47 rifle, one magazine, 3 rounds of ammunition and the sum of ₦9,760.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects, identified as Muhammadu Ali and Umaru Ali, are father and son and are allegedly affiliated with the Lakurawa terrorist group. The suspects are currently in custody undergoing further investigation and prosecution.

Operation FANSAN YAMMA remains resolute in its commitment to rid the Joint Operations Area of terrorists and safeguard the lives and property of citizens. The general public is therefore urged to sustain its support for the troops by providing timely and credible information on suspicious activities within their respective communities.
