The “sit-at-home” directive imposed in the South-East by the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), is rapidly eroding, according to National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
He stated that there has been a noticeable improvement in the security situation in the area.
At Thursday’s All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit in Abuja, where the Federal Government unveiled its two-year scorecard, Ribadu made this statement.
The NSA provided an update on the nation’s major security hotspots and the advancements made under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership.
According to him, key figures of IPOB, and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network, ESN, have either been captured or neutralised, significantly weakening the separatist campaign.

“The ‘sit-at-home’ orders are becoming more and more ineffective,” he declared, adding that attacks on security personnel in the region have significantly reduced.
Ribadu further disclosed that over 50 police stations and posts have been rebuilt as normal social and economic activities gradually return across the South-East.
