Matawalle's Removal as Defence Minister

U.S. lawmaker Kimberli Daniel has called for the removal of Bello Matawalle as Nigeria's Minister of Defence due to worsening security issues, particularly attacks on Christian communities. The report highlights the need for a review of defense leadership to restore public trust.

A UN-WCD security report recommends the removal of Bello Matawalle as Nigeria's Minister of State for Defence due to alleged complicity with bandits during his tenure as governor of Zamfara State, following violent attacks during the 2026 Easter period.
