National President, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Alhassan Yahya Abdullahi, has commended the Federal Government and its security forces over the arrest of leaders of Ansaru terror group.
He made the observation in a statement yesterday, made available to journalists by the union’s National Secretary, Achike Chude.
The arrest of leaders of Ansaru terror group, according to him, showed security strategy that prioritises precision, intelligence, and long-term national security.
The security forces had carried out a successful operation recently, which led to the capture of two high-ranking members of the Ansaru terror group.
“The arrest of Mahmud Muhammad Usman (alias Abu Bara’a) and his deputy, Mahmud al-Nigeri (alias Malam Mamuda), as announced by the National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, is a significant victory in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.
“Ansaru, a dangerous splinter faction, has been responsible for many of the country’s most brutal attacks over the past decade.

The NUJ also gave kudos to the men and women, who have been risking their lives daily to keep Nigeria safe.
