  "summary": "The Zamfara State Police Command has arrested a 22-year-old man, Umar Maradun, for inciting religious violence in a video that went viral on social media. The suspect was seen chanting statements advocating violence against \"infidels\" while dressed in the uniform of the First Aid Group of Jama’atu Izalat Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS). The video, which circulated on Monday, showed the youths chanting for an AK-47 and threatening attacks in Enugu and Jos parts of the country. JIBWIS and Amnesty International called on security agencies to identify and arrest anyone found culpable. The police have begun an investigation into the incident and will charge the suspect to court. The Nigeria Police Force emphasized its commitment to protecting Nigerians and upholding the constitutional right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.",
