ABUJA – Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, says the Nigerian Armed Forces will double their efforts to contain terrorism throughout the country.
General Oluyede stated this shortly after meeting with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, on Monday.
The CDS said contrary to the allegation by US President Donald Trump, there is no Christian persecution in Nigeria.
Trump had declared Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ over allegations of Christian genocide in the country.
The CDS in his reaction, 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.”
