Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Olufemi Oluyede, has assured that the Armed Forces would double their efforts to contain terrorism in Nigeria.
General Oluyede gave this assurance shortly after meeting with the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, on Monday.
He said that contrary to the allegation of US President Donald Trump, there is no Christian persecution in Nigeria.
DAILY POST reports that Trump had declared Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over allegations of Christian genocide in the country.
Reacting, the defence chief said, “There is no Christian persecution in Nigeria. I want to assure Nigerians that, going forward, we are going to add more to what we are doing to checkmate this act of terrorism within Nigeria.”
