The terrorists who stormed a military post in Kaduna State's Birnin Gwari neighbourhood on Wednesday, according to the federal government, suffered severe casualties when they were beaten back. Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, made this comment in response to a question about security following the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which was held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa in Abuja under the chairmanship of President Muhammadu Buhari. Contrary to popular belief, Mohammed claimed that the administration was not overtaken by anxieties nationwide and emphasised that not all military victories in the fight against terrorism occurred in the media.
