National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu has said that the ‘sit-at-home’ order enforced in the South-East by separatist groups is fast losing its grip, with security conditions in the region showing marked improvements.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit in Abuja on Thursday, where the Federal Government presented its two-year scorecard, Ribadu gave an account of progress made under President Bola Tinubu’s administration across key security flashpoints in the country.
Ribadu noted that key figures of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), have either been captured or neutralised, significantly weakening the separatist campaign.
“The ‘sit-at-home’ orders are becoming more and more ineffective,” he declared, adding that attacks on security personnel in the region have significantly reduced. (Channels)
