‘We will win the war against insecurity’, says Tinubu on train kidnap saga

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, has sympathized with the victims of last Saturday’s kidnap incident at a train station in Igueben, Edo State.

In his statement on Tuesday, Tinubu said the incident is “another sad episode in the security challenges facing the country”. But he was optimistic “Nigeria would prevail against the agents of darkness.”

Tinubu, therefore, “urged the Federal Government, Edo State Government and Local authorities to work with the security agencies” on the ways of securing the victims’ freedom.

“This occurrence is a sad reminder that we have not completely won the war against insecurity and that there are still some agents of darkness lurking around the corner. But I want to assure Nigerians we will win this war.

“One of the reasons I am running for the presidency is to improve on security situation and tackle every form of insecurity in our country. We have a clear plan to end violent crimes and terrorism through our Anti-Terrorism Battalion Forces, investment in more security hardware and surveillance technology that will make our streets, neighbourhood and forests saver for socio-economic activities to thrive and bloom.

“I commend the rescue efforts of the security agencies that have led to the arrest of some of the terrorists. Nigeria shall overcome.”
