Abuja -The Federal Government, yesterday, launched a renewed offensive against terrorism and kidnapping, declaring that no effort will be spared to rescue abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo and Borno states.
Recall that in the wake of the abductions, President Bola Tinubu ordered deployment of a specialised rescue team and approved the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards to strengthen security across vulnerable communities.
Meanwhile, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress ADC, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has challenged the Tinubu administration to urgently overhaul Nigeria’s counter-terrorism framework, warning that terrorists are continuously refining their tactics while government appears incapable of doing the same.
