Terrorism-related deaths dropped from 2,600 to 200, AK-47 from N500,000 to N5m – NSA Ribadu
The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, has said the number of deaths related to terrorism in Nigeria has dropped from 2,600 per month to less than 200.
Ribadu disclosed this while noting that AK-47 now sells for over five million naira due to the effort of President Bola Tinubu’s administration in curbing insecurity.
Addressing journalists at the High-Level African Counter-Terrorism Meeting in Abuja, Ribadu said AK-47 being mopped up are destroyed.
He said: “We are working and I think we have done fairly well. One of the things that we have seen as an indication that things are beginning to look different for example, is AK 47 that used to be sold for less than N500,000 last year but now goes for N5 million.
“This means it is not available and we are mopping them up, we are taking them out, we are destroying them. We do not just take but we destroy,”
“A lot of this work is ongoing, but people don’t really see; we salute our armed forces, our security forces, our governors who are doing extremely well.
“A lot of difference is taking place in Nigeria and that is the reason why I can assure you that in the last one year, we have reduced deaths as a result of violent crimes and use of arms.
“We used to record 2,600 or so a month but now we do have less than 200 on the average.
“It is an indication that we are getting results for the work being done.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to step down as early as Monday.
Following reports, the Globe and Mail broke the story first on Sunday night, citing three sources.
It is unclear when Trudeau will step down, but it is anticipated to happen before a national caucus meeting on Wednesday.
Trudeau’s popularity is expected to decline in Canada as a result of a number of issues, including a housing crisis, a declining per-capita GDP, and high inflation.
As of December 24, his disapproval rate was approximately 68%, with only 28% of Canadians supporting him.

The club is exploring creative strategies to bring the Nigerian who’s on a season-long loan to Galatasaray from Napoli, to Old Trafford, which may include player exchanges to help offset costs.
According to Calciomercato journalist Daniele Longo, United’s recruitment team is working on a plan to negotiate a deal with Napoli that would allow them to pay less than Osimhen’s £62 million release clause.
This approach shows the club’s serious intent to strengthen their attacking options under new manager Ruben Amorim.
In a decisive move, United is reportedly considering the sale of Joshua Zirkzee to facilitate the transfer.
The Dutch striker, who has struggled to make an impact since his arrival last summer, could be used to raise funds and reduce the overall cost of the deal
However, Manchester United faces stiff competition for Osimhen’s signature, as Paris Saint-Germain has also expressed interest, adding urgency to United’s negotiations.
The interest from the French giants could potentially drive up Osimhen’s price and complicate United’s plans.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen has been in impressive form this season, scoring 12 goals in 15 competitive appearances.
His potential arrival at Old Trafford could provide the firepower that United desperately needs to climb up the Premier League table.
