Why Insecurity is declining in Nigeria — Nuhu Ribadu

The Nigerian government has claimed that terrorists ravaging the country have been finding it hard to kill because AK47 firearms and other weapons have become too costly for them to afford.

This assertion was made by Nuhu Ribadu the National Security Adviser who maintained that there was a dramatic decline in terrorism-related deaths and the availability of AK-47 firearms in the country lately.

Ribadu made the statement while emphasising developments in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism at the High-Level African Counter-Terrorism Meeting in Abuja on Monday.

He further stated that the price of the AK-47 has risen from less than N1 million to more than N5 million over the last year. “We are working and I think we’ve done fairly well.

One of the things that we have seen as an indication that things are beginning to look different is the cost of for example, AK47.”
