Acknowledging the dynamic and evolving nature of security threats, Buba stressed the challenges faced by security forces and their continuous adaptation of tactics to respond effectively.

His word, “The predominant threat in the North Central (NC) and North West (NW) regions is armed banditry/terrorism while the Boko Haram Terrorists/Islamic State West African Province lingering insurgency remained the main threat in the North East (NE) region. The major threat in the South-East (SE) and South-West (SW) was the secessionist agitations of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Yoruba Nation respectively.

“The South-South (SS) region continued to experience oil theft, cultism and youth restiveness. However, acts of criminalities such as kidnapping, armed robbery, communal clashes and cattle rustling were common across the 6 geopolitical zones.”

He commended the collaborative efforts among various security agencies and services, showcasing the application of both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies to address the multifaceted threats across geopolitical zones.

“The attention was given to providing relevant resources to enhance troops’ capacity to defeat the threats. The cumulative outcome of these efforts is reflected in increased stability achieved across the various theatres of operations. Troops are in a dominant position and are winning the war”, he said.
