The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu has asserted that banditry and terrorism in Nigeria have gone down since President Bola Tinubu took over the mantle of leadership.
Speaking recently in Sokoto, the NSA attributed the development to the policy of the president on security, saying it helped the military to eliminate bandit leaders such as Dangote, Boderi, Ali Kawaje, and Damina.
He went to boast that “there is no known case of student abduction of students that is unresolved anywhere in the country”
He further pointed out that the ever volatile Niger Delta region has been peaceful under Tinubu’s watch, while also assuring that the administration will not back down in its fight against bandits and those behind insecurity.

Speaking at an event in Nigeria’s North West, Ribadu said: “As I am talking to you, there is no known case of student abduction of students that is unresolved anywhere in the country. And where are bandits’ leaders like Ali Kawaje, Boderi, Damina and Dangote? They have all been eliminated.
“In the past, we have had cases of organised terrorism attacks by insurgent groups like their attacks on our train, military formations, or churches. Since we got in there has not been anything like that.
“And go to Niger Delta, it is peaceful today. In the East people were been stopped and killed, there were over 40 police stations shut down but all of them are now functional. All these changes happened because we work.
“We will continue to work. We are not jokers. We are serious and in Sha Allah, Nigeria will see the difference.”
