Nigeria has secured convictions for 44 out of 54 individuals, who were recently arraigned in Phase 7 of the Kainji Detention Facility Terrorism Trial, according to the National Counter Terrorism Centre – Office of the National Security Adviser (NCTC-ONSA).
This is just as the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has insisted that hunger and poverty were the major drivers of insecurity in Nigeria, stressing that vulnerable populations were more easily recruited into insurgent groups.
