Over 35 aircraft procured, 13,500 terrörists k!lled under Tinubu-led administration — Information Minister

The Federal Government has revealed that more than 35 military aircraft have been acquired and at least 13,500 terrorists neutralised since President Bola Tinubu assumed office, as part of intensified efforts to combat insecurity across the country.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made the disclosure on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’.

Responding to questions on whether the persistence of insecurity signals a failure of leadership, Idris acknowledged the depth and complexity of the security crisis but emphasised that the current administration is confronting it with a level of determination and commitment never seen before.

Idris said:

“This has been happening for decades. The government has a great responsibility to ensure that people’s lives and property are protected — that’s the first role of government.

“President Tinubu recognises that, and that’s why he feels pain. Look at the investment he has made in security since taking office: over 35 helicopters and airplanes have been procured, about four naval vessels, and large quantities of ammunition to fight criminal elements.

“The latest statistics show that over 13,500 criminal elements have been eliminated. Their leaders have also been targeted and taken out. Around 120,000 of them have surrendered, and 17,000 people have been reunited with their families.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
