President Bola Tinubu has affirmed the effectiveness of security forces in combating insecurity in the North-West, leading to the disruption and dismantling of criminal networks.
Addressing the North-West Peace and Security Summit, organized by the North-West Governors’ Forum in Katsina on Monday, the President, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, reassured Nigerians that the progress made so far is just the beginning, with continued efforts to further secure the nation.
“Our military forces, through various operations such as Operation Hadin Kai and Operation Safe Haven, have fulfilled their promise to the nation by targeting groups like Boko Haram and bandits who have caused prolonged unrest,” Tinubu said.
He highlighted that enhanced border security and intelligence capabilities have led to the disruption and dismantling of criminal networks. “Each of you here is aware of the high-profile leaders of these groups neutralized by our forces, and I am here to tell you that this is just the beginning,” he added.
President Tinubu dismissed claims that insecurity in the North-West is part of a sectional agenda, stressing that instability in any part of the country affects the entire nation.
He reiterated that securing Nigeria has been a top priority since his administration took office over a year ago and noted that strategies employed in the North-West are starting to yield positive results. He promised that efforts will continue unabated until insurgents are completely dismantled.
The summit saw attendance from several dignitaries, including former President Muhammadu Buhari, the Sultan of Sokoto, Governor Dikko Radda, Minister of Defence Muhammad Badaru, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, and other governors from the North-West region.

Ajayi emphasized the complexity of the operation, noting that the presence of a two-and-a-half-year-old child among the hostages required meticulous planning to ensure the captives’ safety. He also addressed misinformation circulating online during the rescue, clarifying that certain viral videos purporting to show the torture of children were unrelated deepfakes from another country.
Furthermore, the DSS Director-General linked the kidnapping network to an international terrorist organization connected to Al-Qaeda. He revealed that the group’s leaders were apprehended last year and have since been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, along with three collaborators. Ajayi stated that these individuals were also found complicit in the Abuja-Kaduna train attack and were plotting further large-scale abductions before their arrest.

Political Blockbuster: Kenneth Okonkwo Drops Massive Secret, Confirms All Opposition Heavyweights Have Chosen Atiku For 2027!.
Kenneth Okonkwo, a campaign spokesman for African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has asserted that opposition leaders have united behind the former Vice President as their consensus choice for the 2027 presidential race. Speaking during a Thursday interview on Channels Television, Okonkwo stated that this unified coalition originally agreed to adopt the ADC as their shared platform on July 2, 2026, with prominent figures like 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi present for the decision. According to Okonkwo, Atiku’s recent decision to challenge President Bola Tinubu to a debate stems directly from his standing as the undisputed leader of this opposition movement.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Elaborating on the formation of this coalition during an interview with Channels Television on Thursday, Okonkwo revealed that multiple opposition figures initially converged to adopt the ADC as their collective political platform on July 2, 2026. He noted that key political actors—including the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi—were physically present when this foundational agreement was finalized.
Addressing the subsequent political alignment of Peter Obi, Okonkwo discussed Obi’s transition to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Okonkwo maintained that, based on a judicial ruling, the NDC currently functions legally as a political association rather than a fully recognized political party, a status that is presently undergoing the appeals process. Furthermore, Okonkwo criticized Obi’s departure from the original coalition framework, claiming that Obi was strategically lured away from the ADC and has consequently landed in a politically precarious position within the NDC.
