Hon. Murtado Ishola, a National Coordinator of Progressive Grassroots Network, has appreciated the effort of President Bola Ahmad Tinubu over the actions against insurgents threatening the north-east and the nation’s security.
Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser (NSA), and the service chiefs have announced the arrest of two wanted Ansaru leaders.
In a statement on Wednesday, Hon. Murtado said the breakthrough reflects the “benefits of intelligence-sharing and coordination among security agencies”.
The recent arrest of wanted Ansaru terrorists and other insurgents shows that synergy among security agencies is the new success formula against terror forces,” Hon. Murtado said.
National Coordinator of Progressive Grassroots Network has hailed the Nigerian Government and security forces for the successful arrest of two wanted leaders of the terrorist group Ansaru….
He described their arrest as “a significant step forward in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and extremism.”
Ansaru, a splinter group of Boko Haram, has been linked to several kidnappings and terrorist attacks in northern Nigeria.
On Saturday, Ribadu declared the arrest of Mahmud Usman, leader of Ansaru, an al-Qaeda-linked group; and Mahmud al-Nigeri, head of a new militant faction called Mahmuda.
Both men have been on Nigeria’s most wanted list and are also wanted internationally.
The group pledged continued support for Nigeria’s counterterrorism efforts and wider regional security cooperation.
