 Insurgency, banditry have reduced in last two years –NSA Ribadu


The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, says Boko Haram attacks, banditry, and communal conflicts in the northern region have drastically reduced in the last two years of President Tinubu’s administration, compared to what the situation was in the last administration.


Ribadu made this statement on Tuesday while addressing northern leaders at the ongoing two-day interactive session organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna State.


The NSA, while citing example, stated that 1,192 people were killed and over 3,348 kidnapped in Kaduna State during the previous administration, while more than 5,000 people lost their lives in Benue State within the same period.


The pioneer chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said the successes recorded in the fight against insecurity is as a result of President Tinubu’s directive to security agencies on a unified security approach.


He said that the various security operations across the North-West have led to the release of 11, 259 hostages as at May 2025, disclosing that several bandit leaders and their gang members have been eliminated by security forces in Zamfara, Kaduna and Katsina states.


“We appreciate Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State for initiating the non-kinetic approach in addressing insecurity in Southern Kaduna, Birnin Gwari and other troubled communities in the state,” he said.
