“It is evident that the balance of terror has dramatically and effectively titled against terrorist-insurgents, as they are being smoked out from their dens and hideouts in a retaliatory recourse and unconventional tactics by the gallant defense and security forces.
“Recent onslaughts on terrorists, bandits and economic vandals in the northern part of the country are glaring proof of the tireless efforts and profound recalibration of strategy, by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Farouk Yahaya, and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao , even in the face of limited logistics.
“To achieve an all-inclusive participation, we appeal to both the traditional and new media operators to put the interest of the country first, in their reportage, by propagating a common front of peace and stability, geared towards maintaining the successes recorded by our armed forces and other security agencies in the ongoing fight.”
Convener of the PSNAFSA, Mary Abayomi-Fatile, stated that the renewed vigor against economic saboteurs under the administration of the Chief of Defense Staff, General Lucky Irabor and the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, had yielded great results, adding that the evil plot by insurgents and bandits was to instill fear in Nigerians and make abnormality a way of life.
She said, “It is gladdening to know that the Nigerian Navy’s effort to rid the nation’s maritime domain of all sorts of criminality has yielded positive results, as it has successfully foiled oil theft, illegal oil bunkering and pipeline vandalisation among other maritime crimes.”
