National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu has declared that the “sit-at-home” order imposed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South-East is rapidly losing its influence, with security conditions in the region showing marked improvement.
Ribadu made this assertion at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit in Abuja on Thursday, during the Federal Government’s presentation of its two-year scorecard under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Addressing the audience, Ribadu highlighted significant progress in tackling insecurity across the country’s key flashpoints. He attributed the decline in the effectiveness of the sit-at-home order to successful security operations that have led to the capture or neutralization of key IPOB figures and members of its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN). This, he said, has considerably weakened the separatist campaign in the region.
“The ‘sit-at-home’ orders are becoming more and more ineffective,” Ribadu stated, emphasizing that attacks on security personnel in the South-East have also significantly reduced.
The NSA further revealed that more than 50 police stations and posts have been rebuilt, signaling the restoration of law enforcement presence and the gradual return of normal social and economic activities in the region.
Ribadu’s remarks reflect the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to restore peace and stability in the South-East, encouraging residents and businesses to resume their daily activities without fear.
