DSS Arrests Terror Suspects As Federal Government Says Nigeria Will Not Be Stampeded By Us Terror Alert

Operatives of the Department of State Services have arrested two terror suspects at the Trademore Estate in the Lugbe area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Monday.

The security operatives were said to have shut the entrance and exit gates of the estate while the operation lasted.

Reports say the suspects, said to be siblings, were taken into custody on an allegation of terrorism.

This is coming as  the federal government again, reacted to the updated travel advisory by the United States Department of State and the United Kingdom for their citizens to reconsider travelling to Nigeria due to terrorism and general crime.

Minister of Information and Culture Minister, Lai Mohammed said it would not be stampeded by whatever any foreign government tells its citizens.

The Minister said as a government, the administration has done better on security in recent past, and therefore assures everybody of security of their lives and property.

Reacting to this, a Global Security Researcher, Professor Usman Yusuff, said the Nigerian Government should not disregard the advisory or treat it with levity, but rather synergise with the issuing countries to forestall its occurrence.

In the interim, the United States has authorised the evacuation of “non-emergency” employees and their family members in Nigeria.

Presidency Says Federal Government Not Interested in Naming Sponsors of Terrorism, Insists Justice Will Be Served

The Special Adviser to be President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adelina, has said the federal government was not interested in naming and shaming sponsors of terrorism but insisted that justice would be served to such persons

Coming barely a week after the United Arab Emirates placed six Nigerians on its terror list, Adesina, when asked on a monitored programme if President Buhari would comment on the issue of terrorism at the UN Assembly, he said the government’s focus will be on prosecution of suspects.

The Presidential Spokesman said naming and shaming won’t be the motive.

Rather, he said bringing malefactors to justice would be it.

“Terrorism may persist for another 20 Years” Chief of army staff, Lt. Gen. Buratai, come under attack for saying

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. TUKUR BURATAI, has come under attack for saying terrorism may persist for another 20 years in the country.

A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator SHEHU SANI has lambasted TUKUR BURATAI for the comment.

The army chief had made the statement just days after over 43 rice farmers were killed by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.

 Reacting, the former lawmaker, who tweeted on his verified Twitter handle, said the statement by BURATAI showed the ‘bankruptcy of new ideas and strategies’ to win the insurgency war.

 SHEHU SANI wondered why BURATAI could say to Nigerians that the insurgencies will last twenty more years after repeatedly misleading claims of victories against the insurgents.
