ACF warns of rising insecurity and poverty in North

The Arewa Consultative Forum has raised fresh alarm over worsening insecurity, deepening poverty and growing humanitarian crises across Northern Nigeria. Chairman Mamman Mike Osuman said terrorism, banditry and kidnapping are uprooting families and destroying livelihoods in many states.​ Speaking at the ACF’s 79th National Executive Council meeting in Kaduna, Osuman listed Kwara, Southern Kaduna, Katsina and Benue among areas facing rising attacks.

US lawmaker warns separatist push could hurt Christians

United States Congressman Riley M. Moore has rejected claims that Washington supports any move to break up Nigeria, warning that separatist campaigns would worsen insecurity and put Christian communities in greater danger.​ In a post on his verified X account, Moore said he travelled to Nigeria and held high level meetings with government officials, church leaders, aid groups and internally displaced persons to better understand the persecution of Christians.
