NSA Ribadu taking steps to fight terrorism – Shehu Sani on arrest of Ansaru-AlQaeda leader

Former Senator Shehu Sani has commended the arrest of Ansaru terrorist leader Abu Baraa by the National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, calling it a significant step in the fight against terrorism. Baraa, who has links to Al-Qaeda, was apprehended in July after being on the radar of security agencies since May.

Sani praised the successful operation, stating that the arrest of such a high-profile terrorist leader in Northern Nigeria is crucial in combating the wave of kidnappings and killings orchestrated by extremist groups. He emphasized the importance of preventing the spread of a "deranged, delusional dream of theocracy" that leads to bloodshed and violence.

The NSA Ribadu's proactive measures in apprehending Baraa demonstrate a commitment to national security and counterterrorism efforts.
