Defence Minister Dismisses Claims of Terrorist Superiority, Highlights Military Advancements

Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, has firmly denied reports suggesting that terrorist groups possess superior weaponry compared to Nigeria’s armed forces.

 Speaking during a ministerial briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, Badaru asserted that the nation’s military maintains a significant technological and strategic advantage over insurgent groups, despite ongoing security challenges.

His comments were in response to concerns raised by members of the House of Representatives, who had expressed alarm over the capabilities of terrorist groups following a recent attack on a military base in Giwa, Borno State.
