The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has said that the sit-at-home order enforced by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South-East is rapidly losing its effectiveness.
Speaking on Thursday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit in Abuja, where the Federal Government presented its two-year scorecard, Ribadu stated that the security situation in the region is improving significantly.
He noted that key members of IPOB and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), have been captured or neutralised, weakening the separatist movement.
“The ‘sit-at-home’ orders are becoming more and more ineffective,” Ribadu said, adding that attacks on security personnel in the region have dropped considerably.
He also revealed that more than 50 police stations and posts have been rebuilt, as normal social and economic activities gradually resume in the South-East.
