Babatunji Wusu –

The government of President Bola Tinubu has verified that the trial of every Boko Haram suspect in Kainji has resumed.

This development was reported by National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, during the two-day High-level African Counter-terrorism Summit in Abuja.

In order to take direct action against Boko Haram and the Islamic State-West Africa Province (ISWAP), Nigeria is reportedly actively gathering intelligence on their actions, according to the NSA.

Highlighting the reality that numerous terrorist groups target Africa, taking advantage of regional weaknesses, Ribadu underlined that the meeting is a manifestation of Nigeria’s resolute dedication to the UN Counterterrorism Accord.

He went on to say that Nigeria has taken a comprehensive strategy that makes use of digital resources in order to counter the ever-evolving security threats posed by Boko Haram and ISWAP.

The United Nations Office on Counter-Terrorism’s Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism, Vladimir Voronkov, stressed in his remarks that the cooperation of African countries in developing African-based solutions is essential to the success of the UN.

The goal of the two-day high-level conference is to come up with answers for the intricate security issues that Nigeria and the entire African continent are currently facing.

The presidents of Togo, Ghana, and Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nana Akufo-Addo, and Faure Gnassingbé, are present at the meeting.

More than four hundred delegates from all around Africa are in attendance, along with representatives of the presidents of Chad and Niger.
