Daniel Bwala, President Tinubu’s media adviser, outlined a comprehensive strategy to tackle insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping in Nigeria.The plan includes expanding security personnel, deploying technology like drones and surveillance systems, and strengthening international partnerships with countries like the US and Sahel nations.

Bwala emphasized that current security forces are insufficient for Nigeria’s vast population and landmass, so recruitment and retraining of more operatives are priorities.

Forest guards will be deployed to prevent terrorists from using forests as safe havens, while community policing and private security firms will complement government efforts.The administration is also focusing on intelligence-led operations to minimize civilian casualties during raids.

Bwala warned that insecurity often spikes before elections due to political manipulation, urging Nigerians to judge the government’s performance post-elections.

He highlighted recent actions against compromised law enforcement, like the arrest of a senior police officer, showing commitment to cleansing the security system.
