Edo train attack: Insecurity not completely dealt with in Nigeria — Tinubu

By Ariemu Ogaga

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, has admitted that insecurity in the country has not been completely dealt with.

Tinubu in a statement issued Tuesday by his media office also condemned Saturday’s abduction of train passengers in Edo State.

The former governor of Lagos state described the abduction of  31 passengers who were waiting to board train at Igueben Station to Warri as another sad episode in the security challenges facing the country.

“Nigeria would prevail against the agents of darkness,” he added.

He said the occurrence was a sad reminder that the country has not completely won the war against insecurity.

Tinubu noted, “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.  Evil will not prevail over our country because of our strong determination to exterminate the dark forces everywhere they manifest.

“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.”
