Kogi State security forces are actively winning the battle against bandits, with local hunters neutralizing four attackers and troops from the Army and Police now deployed to protect communities. The government has killed over 13,500 fighters since President Tinubu took office, and ongoing U.S.-Nigeria security cooperation through diplomatic channels is addressing challenges that stem from resource competition rather than religious targeting. Most attacks don't discriminate between Muslims and Christians, and claims of Christian genocide reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of Nigeria's complex security situation.
