Insecurity: We Have Disrupted And Dismantled Criminal Networks – Tinubu
The President disclosed that his administration is making more effort in providing a better secured environment for all citizens in every region of the country.
President Bola Tinubu says the efforts of security forces in the fight against insecurity in the North-West are yielding results, and have disrupted and dismantled criminal networks.
The President said this at the North-West Peace and Security Summit organised by the North-West Governors’ Forum in Katsina, the capital of Katsina State on Monday.
Represented by the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, Tinubu assured Nigerians that the progress made so far is just the beginning as the government is making more effort to provide a better secure environment for all citizens.
*Our military forces, through various operations such as Operation Hadin Kai and Operation Safe Haven, have made true their promise to the nation by targeting like Boko Haram and bandits who have held for too long.
“Through enhanced border security and intelligence capabilities, we have disrupted and dismantled criminal networks. Each of you here is aware of the high-profile figureheads of these groups neutralised by our forces, and I am here to share with you that this is just the beginning,” he said
The President dismissed insinuations insecurity in the North-West is a sectional agenda, arguing that whatever affects any part of the nation destabilises the other. He says the administration’s promise of securing Nigeria remains its priority since assuming office over a year ago.
He said the strategies employed by the government in fighting insecurity in the North-West have begun to provide redemption, adding that there will be no slowdown until the aim of totalling dismantling insurgents is achieved
Non-collaboration among security agencies has always been pointed out by security experts as one of the major hindrances of the fight against insecurity.
However, President Tinubu disclosed that the government is making huge efforts to strengthen collaborations among security agencies to ensure a unified approach in the fight against insurgency.
He also said that guidelines such as standard operating procedures and rules of engagement are being adhered to in all the approaches in the battle against insurgents.
The President added that the government is coordinating joint training exercises, inter-agency cooperation, communication, and information sharing among security agencies.
Dignitaries that attended the security summit include former President Muhammadu Buhari, Sultan of Sokoto Governor, Dikko Radda; Minister of Defence, Muhammad Badaru; National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, host governor Umar Radda, other North-West governor among others.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
