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.
He stated 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 that they are working and they have done fairly well. He noted that one of the things that they 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.
He said that means it is not available and they are mopping them up, taking them out and destroying them.
He said that there are lots of ongoing work that people don’t really see, while saluting the armed forces, the security forces, the governors who are doing extremely well.
