“As a foremost media body in Nigeria with members in over 500 licensed tv and radio stations  in the 36 states and Abuja, we have observed the continuous victory of Armed Forces of Nigeria are recording over insecurity and the continuous arrest of high profile bandits in the last one year, with the Ministry of Defence and security agencies using kinetic and non- kinetic strategies to subdue insurgency,” this is highly commendable he said.

“Our Armed Forces have demonstrated unparalleled commitment in addressing the security challenges we face, and we are witnessing significant victories. Insurgents are being neutralized, and high-profile bandits are being arrested. These efforts have not only led to greater security but have also restored confidence across affected regions,” he stated.
The Minister further noted that security breaches have reduced significantly due to enhanced military operations, and he commended the continued collaboration between security agencies. “Our goal is to ensure that peace and stability are not just restored but maintained,” he added.
