The military has expressed doubt over Nigeria’s ranking in the latest Global Terrorism Index report.
Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye, is concerned that Nigeria, ranking sixth among countries most affected by terrorism, may not reflect growing efforts to curb terrorism in the country.
A news conference convened presents the Nigerian military authorities with an opportunity to give updates on operations across the country.
Major General Markus Kangye has an axe to grind with the latest Global Terrorism Index, which ranked Nigeria sixth among countries most affected by terrorism.
General Kangye insists the ranking doesn’t reflect current efforts in combating terrorism in the country.
While the report fails to acknowledge that Nigeria is winning the war against terrorism, it highlights that deaths in sub-Saharan Africa are now at their lowest since 2016.
