Nigeria has faced deadly attacks recently, with armed groups killing more than 200 people. These violent assaults have created deep concerns about the country's security situation. At the same time, there is a hopeful development: all Christian worshippers who were abducted from churches last month have now been freed. This mixed picture leaves many wondering—has security in Nigeria worsened or improved? The issue was discussed by experts including James Barnett from the Hudson Institute, Oluwole Ojewale of the Institute for Security Studies, and Melvin Foote of Constituency for Africa. They carefully examined the serious threats and the steps being taken to restore safety. The situation remains tense but the release of abducted Christians offers a glimpse of progress amid ongoing violence.
