LERE OLAYINKA ALERTS DSS, POLICE OVER VIDEO OF ALLEGED THREATS AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN JOS, ENUGU

Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has called on security agencies to investigate a circulating video allegedly containing threats against Christians in Jos and Enugu.

Olayinka urged the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force to verify the footage and take appropriate steps to protect public peace.

The clip reportedly shows a drill involving people identified as members of the First Aid Group of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah, commonly known as JIBWIS.

According to a translation cited by Olayinka, a drill leader allegedly requested an assault rifle and spoke about attacking Christian worshippers in Enugu and Jos, Plateau State.

The allegations have not been independently verified. The authenticity of the footage, the accuracy of the translation and the identities of those involved remain matters for investigation.

Olayinka appealed for swift intervention to establish the facts and prevent any potential threat to lives.

The material provided did not include a response from JIBWIS or confirmation that security agencies had opened an investigation.
