Nigeria Making Progress Against Terrorism, Says Information Minister
Nigeria is making significant progress in fighting terrorism and banditry, according to Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris. Speaking at the inaugural Annual International Lecture hosted by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, he affirmed the government’s commitment to eliminating threats from Boko Haram, banditry, and kidnapping.
Idris reported that Nigerian forces have removed over 300 commanders from these groups in the past year, particularly in the Northeast and Northwest. He emphasized that understanding the root causes of insecurity is essential for effective management.
The Minister acknowledged the complexity of the situation, stating that no single nation can tackle the violence in the Sahel alone. He highlighted ongoing government efforts, such as intelligence gathering and grassroots initiatives, to address these issues. Idris commended NAN for its timely news delivery and its role in promoting national unity.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
