Nigeria Has Defeated Terrorism, Attacks No Longer Rampant – Defence Minister

Channels TV about 2 hours 1 mins read

 

The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (Rtd.), says the Federal Government has defeated terrorism in Nigeria, maintaining that terrorist attacks are no longer as brazen as they used to be.

Musa made the remark during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, insisting that attacks have reduced and largely shifted to kidnapping.

Asked whether Nigeria had defeated terrorists or merely displaced them, the minister said, “Frankly speaking we have (defeated terrorists) because now, like I said, the attacks are not as rampant and it is now kidnapping. Like I said, kidnapping is a social ill where you now see wives kidnapping husbands and husbands kidnapping children.”
