The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has stated that cases of Boko Haram attacks, banditry, and communal violence in northern Nigeria have drastically reduced under President Bola Tinubu’s administration compared to the previous government.
Speaking on Tuesday at a two-day interactive session organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna, Ribadu credited the improvement to President Tinubu’s directive for a unified approach to tackling insecurity across the country.
Providing statistics on the security situation, Ribadu said Kaduna State alone recorded 1,192 killings and over 3,348 kidnappings during the last administration. In Benue State, more than 5,000 people reportedly lost their lives within the same period.
