President Bola Tinubu says Nigeria will not surrender any part of its territory to criminals, pledging continued support for the security forces as they carry out operations against bandit networks. In a statement issued through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu commends the Armed Forces and other agencies for recent successes, including the elimination of notorious bandit leader Ibrahim Bastuji in Kogi State. The statement says Bastuji and his fighters are neutralised during a joint operation involving the Nigerian Army, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Police, and the Civil Defence Corps, which also disrupts a planned attack on a school and residents in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area. Tinubu also highlights a separate operation in Katsina State, where troops from the 17 Brigade are reported to free Hajiya Amina Rabe Abubakar, described as the widow of the late Major General Rabe Abubakar, after fighting kidnappers in Tunga Village. Tinubu presents the outcomes as milestones in restoring public confidence and reducing insecurity, and he urges citizens to provide credible information to authorities.
