Islamic scholar Taofeek Akeugbagold asserts that religious radicalism fuels insecurity, terrorism, and banditry in Nigeria. He attributes this to preachers disseminating man-made ideologies that foster intolerance and hatred among followers.
Akeugbagold urges the government to combat radical preaching, arrest extremist clerics, and halt terrorism funding. He points to Saudi Arabia’s success and advises Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, to tackle strict religious ideologies.
