  "summary": "The Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) has cautioned Nigerians against engaging in divisive religious narratives that deepen tensions and weaken national cohesion. Speaking at a policy review dialogue, Director-General Joseph Ochogwu emphasized the need for evidence-based discourse, accountable institutions, impartial security operations, and stronger collaboration among government, religious institutions, and communities. Ochogwu warned that exaggerated and polarizing narratives about insecurity, particularly those that single out religious identities, could exacerbate mistrust and reinforce divisions.",
