Reno Omokri has said the recent surge in terror attacks across Nigeria is not a random development but a coordinated effort, arguing that the pattern of incidents shows clear signs of orchestration.
Omokri made the claim in a statement posted on his X account on Friday, where he linked the sudden increase in attacks to recent political events and alleged attempts to push an anti-Nigeria narrative.
He wrote, “The sudden spike in terror activities after Peter Obi’s Washington, D.C., trip between September 23-25, which led to the rash of genocide claims against Nigeria beginning from September 26, 2025, is not coincidental. These attacks are coordinated and designed to achieve a specific anti-Nigerian objective.”
He said the same strategy was used before the 2015 general election.
According to him, “These are the same tactics that desperate politicians and their foreign handlers used against President Jonathan to achieve regime change in 2015.”
Omokri urged Nigerians to reflect carefully on the pattern rather than react emotionally.
He said, “We are a very emotional people who often emote rather than reason. But let us calm our excitable nerves for a minute or two and reason.
“In a study published by Channels Television last year, we observed a decline in terrorist activities in Nigeria. All of a sudden, and seemingly out of nowhere, they just increased in tempo just as local and international actors started a coordinated media campaign against Nigeria?”
He argued that blaming the government without considering external influence plays into the hands of those trying to destabilise the country.
He wrote, “Yes, the natural reaction of most of our people is to lash out, insult, and call for a change in leadership, but let us consult our intellect.”
To reinforce his point, he referred to a well-known quote.
He wrote, “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.”
Omokri pointed to recent incidents, including school abductions, the killing of a General, attacks on churches, and assaults on police officers, as evidence of a deliberate pattern.
He wrote, “After a lull in school abductions for over a year, how can we suddenly have two school abductions, a General killed, a church attacked during a livestream, and police officers attacked or killed?”
He insisted the incidents are too aligned to be accidental.
He said, “This is too coordinated to be coincidental.”

Drawing parallels with other nations, he warned of similar destabilisation tactics.
He stated, “This is the playbook that was successfully used in Libya and Sudan. Look at those countries today.”
Omokri added that the goal is to push Nigeria toward deep ethnic and sectarian conflict.
He wrote, “The plan is not to make us go the way of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger; it is to go the whole hog and convert Nigeria into a basket case of sectarian and ethnic fighting. If we allow the experiment to make Nigeria the third in the series, we will certainly regret it.”
He urged citizens to unite behind President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and remain loyal to Nigeria.
He wrote, “I urge all Nigerians to stand by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and be loyal citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
Describing the trend as deliberate, he called for caution from the public.
He said, “This series of events is too sudden, coordinated, and well-organised to be the result of happenstance.”
Omokri warned that some calls for the President to resign are politically motivated.
According to him, “These calls for the President to resign now are sponsored by foreign interests and their local puppets. We have an election in fourteen months. If you dislike the current administration or feel that they are responsible for this sudden escalation of insecurity, wait until then and exercise your democratic rights.”
