SecurityAnalysis Group (SAG) has described the recent report of the
Global Terrorism Index (GTI), which said Nigeria has moved to sixth in the latest rating as a welcome development.
SAG in a press release signed by the Convener, Abdullahi Gambo attributed the development to the relentless operations of the Armed Forces of Nigeria against Boko Haram insurgents.
The report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) in an index indicated that Nigeria; as well as Syria, and Somalia are the only nations, among the 10 most affected by terrorism; to get an improved score.
According to the report, Nigeria dropped two places from fourth, a position it has occupied since 2017.
According to the report, there was a decline in the number of terrorism-related deaths in Nigeria. It attributed it to among other reasons the Federal Government’s efforts at defeating the group.
According to Security Analysis Group, “the report from IEP is indeed cheering and a morale booster to members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria who are making sacrifices to keep the country together.
SAG advised Nigerians to continue to support the AFN under the leadership of Gen LEO Irabor, saying the country will definitely emerge victorious over agents of disunity.
