The Federal Government says recent coordinated security operations have led to major breakthroughs against criminal and terrorist groups across the country.
Director General of the National Orientation Agency, Lanre Issa-Onilu, told journalists in Abuja that under the campaign ‘Disrupting Criminal Networks and Securing Communities’, over 2,000 suspects were arrested and 175 kidnap victims rescued in 326 police-led operations.
The campaign also saw the neutralisation of 78 terror suspects and the dismantling of six arms trafficking syndicates.
The NDLEA, in its operations, seized nearly 3 million kilograms of illicit drugs and conducted over 1,500 raids.
Community peacebuilding efforts by the NSCDC reportedly resolved 720 local conflicts, while the FRSC recorded 2,838 road crash-related deaths—largely blamed on reckless driving.
Officials say the results reflect a shift towards intelligence-driven security, stronger inter-agency coordination, and increased investment in training and equipment.
