Bizarre admission by Africa Minister that he is “not aware of any substantiated evidence that extremist Islamist ideology is a driver of intercommunal attacks.” On what planet are he and his officials living?

In a letter, the Africa Minister, James Duddridge MP , says “ The UK Government continues to be concerned by rising insecurity across Nigeria and the impact this is having on local communities.”

But then goes on to say – yet again – that “We are not aware of any substantiated
evidence that extremist Islamist ideology is a driver of intercommunal attacks.”

On what planet are he and his officials living?

As he has declined to meet Parliamentarians who hold a different view might he at least read some of yesterday’s debate from the House of Lords?
