Idris stressed that framing terrorism in Nigeria as a religiously targeted campaign was not only inaccurate but also dangerous. Advertisement“Portraying Nigeria’s security challenges as a targeted campaign against a single religious group oversimplifies a multifaceted situation. According to the Minister, violent extremism in Nigeria affects citizens across all religious and ethnic backgrounds. He added that in a recent major breakthrough, security forces captured the top leadership of Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina fi-Biladis Sudan (ANSARU)—an Al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group operating in Nigeria. “These feats demonstrate the success of our armed forces and counter any claims that Nigeria is passively tolerating terrorism,” he added.
