Nigeria Security Crisis: Federal Government Vows Not to Surrender to Terrorists After Deadly Plateau Attack

Nigeria Will Not Surrender to Terrorists – Federal Government

Abuja, Nigeria  The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting lives and property across the country, declaring that Nigeria will not surrender to terrorists or criminal elements.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made this known on Tuesday during a press briefing in Abuja while addressing the security situation in Plateau State.

This follows a recent attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North, which resulted in casualties and heightened tensions among residents.

According to the Minister, “Nigeria will not bow to criminal elements. We will protect our people, and we will prevail.”

He urged Nigerians to remain united and resist attempts by criminal groups to divide communities, emphasizing that national unity remains strong and essential for lasting peace.

The Minister expressed condolences to the families of victims and the people of Plateau State over the tragic incident.

He also confirmed that security agencies responded swiftly, deploying troops under Operation Enduring Peace to restore calm.

He noted that the intervention helped contain the violence and prevent further escalation.

The Federal Government, he added, is intensifying security efforts through enhanced intelligence gathering, increased deployment of personnel, and joint patrols by security forces.

He further disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met with top security officials to review the situation and implement stronger measures.

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has also been invited for further consultations to strengthen collaboration in restoring lasting peace.

The Minister commended the state government’s imposition of a 48-hour curfew in Jos North, noting its effectiveness in stabilizing the situation.

Despite describing the attack as unfortunate, he maintained that “there will be no safe haven for criminals anywhere in Nigeria.”

He also cautioned citizens against spreading unverified information that could worsen tensions.
