The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has stated that the sit-at-home order enforced by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Nigeria’s South-East region is losing its impact.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit held in Abuja on Thursday, Ribadu said security conditions in the region have improved significantly under the current administration.
He noted that several high-ranking members of IPOB and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), have been captured or neutralised, weakening the group’s operations.
“The ‘sit-at-home’ orders are becoming more and more ineffective,” Ribadu said. He also reported a decline in attacks on security personnel across the region.
According to the NSA, over 50 police stations and posts have been reconstructed as normal social and economic activities begin to resume across the South-East.
The summit featured the presentation of a two-year scorecard by the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership.
