Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, has called on the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force to investigate a disturbing video that has gone viral. The footage allegedly features members of an Islamic security group inciting violence against Christians in Nigeria, specifically targeting communities in Jos, Plateau State, and Enugu State.

The video reportedly shows participants from the First Aid Group (F.A.G.) of Jama'atu Izalatil Bid'ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) engaged in a drill. According to Olayinka, translations of the remarks made by the drill leader reveal a chilling demand for AK-47 rifles to be used against individuals he referred to as "infidels." This alarming call to arms has raised significant concerns about the potential for violence and public unrest.

Olayinka emphasized the urgency of the situation, urging security agencies to act swiftly to verify the authenticity of the video and take necessary measures to prevent any escalation of violence. He highlighted specific remarks from the video, where the drill leader allegedly stated, "He should be given AK47. He would then go to Enugu... He would then open fire... so that he can kill the infidels." Such statements have sparked fears of targeted attacks against Christian communities during worship.

The call for investigation comes at a time when Nigeria is grappling with various security challenges, including inter-religious tensions. The potential implications of this video, if left unchecked, could exacerbate existing divisions and lead to further violence.

Olayinka's plea for intervention underscores the responsibility of security forces to ensure the safety of all citizens, regardless of their religious affiliations. As the situation develops, many are watching closely to see how authorities will respond to this serious allegation and what steps will be taken to maintain peace in the affected regions.
