Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Babagana Monguno, the National Security Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, has identified groups enabling terrorism in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Monguno identified Jama\u2019at Nasr al-Islam Wal Muslimin, JNIM, Islamic and Muslim Support Group, and Islamic State in Greater Sahara, ISGS, as organizations behind terrorism in Nigeria and Africa.<\/p>\n

The retired Major General disclosed this while speaking at the 14th Workshop of the League of Ulamas, Preachers and Imams of Sahel countries in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to Monguno: \u201cTerrorism and the rapid escalation of violent activities by militant Islamist groups in the Sahel since 2016 have been primarily driven by the Islamic State in Greater Sahara (ISGS), which mainly operates in Mali and extends to the Niger Republic and Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is bolstered by activities of groups such as Jama\u2019at Nasr al-Islam Wal Muslimin (JNIM), the Islamic and Muslim Support Group (GSIM) and ISGS, which have continued to pose an imminent threat to the stability of the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Nigeria, Boko-Haram and Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) dominate terrorist activities, especially in the North-Eastern part of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation in the Sahel has never been grimmer, extremist violence continues to spread; the number of internally displaced persons (IDPS) is growing; and food insecurity is affecting more people than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n
