Boko Haram — formally known as Jama’atu Ahlis-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad — kidnapped 416 women and children from Ngoshe, Borno State, Nigeria in March 2026.

Their demand: $2.7 million or the victims disappear forever into the Mandara Mountains.

Amnesty International reports over 1,100 Nigerians abducted in just three months — January through April.

The Western press covers none of it. Ask yourself why.

Boko Haram’s War on Christians Ignored by Western Media

The pattern is undeniable. Boko Haram overran a Nigerian military base, slaughtered the town’s chief imam, then dragged hundreds of women and children into captivity.

CNN is quiet. The BBC looks away.

If the perpetrators weren’t Muslim, every network on earth would be screaming.

Pastor Adrian Rogers once said: “The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you.” These 416 souls need that grace now — and they need the Church to refuse to look away.

Nigeria’s Forgotten Christian Genocide

Revelation 6:9 speaks of souls slain for their faith, crying out from beneath the altar. That cry is real today in Borno State.

This is not a “security issue.” It is a systematic war on Christians — ignored by governments, buried by media, and forgotten by a comfortable Western church.

God is not silent. Neither should we be.

Pray for Nigeria’s captives.
