Nigeria has established, over many years, a solid reputation for allowing its Islamic radicals to persecute Christians through kidnapping, assault, torture and murder.
A report not that long ago from Catholic News confirmed Islamist militants over the last decade or more have killed “at least 52,520 Nigerian Christians.”
The violence is carried out by the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency, which targets Christians and faces little pushback from the government there.
That report also noted that over the same time period, 18,000 churches were set on fire, and 2,200 Christian schools were burned.
Government officials and structures, including the courts, often are complicit, through the decisions they make regarding the violence, and now a new strategy is being uncovered: a campaign to take Christian children from orphanages and indoctrinate them into Islam.
The report comes from International Christian Concern.
It has just reported that 16 Christian children from Du Merci Orphanage were taken into government custody and have been ordered to remain there.
The case dates to 2019 when Nigerian officials raided the Christian orphanage and police officers from the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) confiscated 29 children and moved them to government-run facilities.
“While in government custody, authorities split the children up, including siblings, and forced them to recite Arabic, study Islam, and attend prayers in a mosque. Since the children had Christian names, authorities reassigned them Muslim names,” the report explains.
The orphanage director, Solomon Tarfa, has been fighting the government abductions since they happened, and has defeated government accusations of kidnapping and abduction that authorities leveled against him as part of their attack.
The latest anti-Christian court decision came from the Kano State High Court, where a judge said he has “too many cases” that are more important. He ordered the orphanage officials and government officials to reach a settlement outside of court.
Tarfa actually was jailed for an extended period on a government charge that a document he got from the government itself was fake, then an appeals court acquitted him of all charges.
The report explained many of the children who arrived at Du Merci are through a friend of Tarfa, a doctor who is asked to perform abortions.
“The doctor refers these women to Du Merci, who offers to take the children and allow the mother to reclaim custody later if she chooses to do so,” the report said.
Tarfa continues to insist on freedom for the 16 children remaining in government indoctrination as well as reparations for the damage by government officials, including the total destruction of the orphanage building.
WND SPECIAL REPORT – “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS”: From the Biden administration’s enthusiastic support for amputating body parts of troubled children, to its obsession with bringing as many millions of illegal aliens, terrorists and Chinese soldiers as possible into America, it is increasingly clear that many of this nation’s current leaders are, to put it plainly, stark raving mad.
Indeed, psychiatric experts are finally documenting how the symptom profiles of scary conditions like “Borderline Personality Disorder” and “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” PERFECTLY MATCH today’s top leaders.
One groundbreaking peer-reviewed study published in 2023 documents how left-wing extremism is closely associated with “psychopathic tendencies.” Likewise, retired psychiatrist Brad Lyles, M.D., explains how “one way of understanding the increasingly outlandish beliefs and behaviors of the left is through the lens of Borderline Personality Disorder.” And one of America’s top forensic psychiatrists, Lyle Rossiter, M.D., described Barack Obama’s mental state as “Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”
Consider a typical description of sociopathy: “Sociopaths are often well-liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments.” Remind you of anyone?
From Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to their presidential Cabinet – including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra – all of these people “have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly.”
But it’s not just Democrat leaders. Multiple surveys now show how rank-and-file Democrats are TWICE as likely to be diagnosed with a mental disorder as Republicans – from depression to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia to narcissistic personality disorder. All this and much more is stunningly laid out in the March edition of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS.” Don’t miss it – you will see the whole political-cultural-spiritual war raging in the U.S.A. in a whole new light.
