Federal Government Asserts Nigeria’s Security Challenges Are Non-Religious

 The Federal Government has reiterated that Nigeria’s security challenges are devoid of religious undertones, emphasizing that criminal elements operate without allegiance to any faith. This clarification aims to dispel misconceptions and promote unity among the diverse religious communities in the country.

In a recent press briefing, the Minister of Information and Culture, Muhammed Idris, addressed concerns about the portrayal of Nigeria’s security issues. He stressed that attributing religious motives to criminal activities could exacerbate tensions and hinder collective efforts to combat insecurity.

The minister called on religious leaders and organizations to collaborate with the government in fostering peace and understanding. He urged the public to support security agencies by providing timely information and refraining from actions that could inflame religious sentiments.

This stance by the Federal Government underscores the importance of national cohesion in addressing security challenges and reflects its commitment to ensuring that all citizens, irrespective of their religious affiliations, are protected and valued.
