The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has sought more support for security agencies, urging the federal government to provide more equipment and welfare for them.
Reacting to the arrest of two leaders of Al-Ansaru and Mahmuda terrorist groups which have been operating in Nigeria for some years by men of the Department of State Services (DSS), MURICs founder/executive director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, noted that no amount spent on security was wasted because every other sector depends on the safety of the ecosystem to function.
The group commended the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the head of the Department of State Services (DSS) for this feat and said, “Terrorism suffered a major blow in recent times.
“It was revealed on Friday, 15th August, 2025, that the two leaders of Al-Ansaru and Mahmuda terrorist groups, Mahmud Muhammad Usman, the self-styled Amir of Ansari and his comrade in terrorism, Mahmud al-Nigeri.

“The two terrorists have been on the wanted list of Nigeria, the US, UK and UN for years. They had succeeded in evading arrest until they were captured in a sting operation conducted between May and July 2025”.
MURIC hailed Nigeria’s indefatigable National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, for replicating his brilliant performance and enviable record as head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in his present position.
According to the group, “The big come-back of the security agencies, their resilience and recent successful onslaughts against Boko Haram, bandits, kidnappers and other criminals can be traced to his methodical cum microscopic re-engineering of Nigeria’s security paraphernalia.’’
