President Bola Tinubu has restated his administration’s commitment to intensifying the fight against insecurity and ensuring the release of all persons held captive across the country.

He stated that Nigeria will not bow to terrorists or bandits.

The President’s position was conveyed on Sunday by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, at the national interdenominational church service held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, as part of activities marking the 2026 Democracy Day celebration.

A statement by the SGF’s media aide, Yomi Odunuga, said Tinubu stated: “The government of Nigeria shall never succumb to terror, banditry or any form of criminal intimidation.”

He stressed that safeguarding lives remained the government’s top priority, noting that recent attacks and abductions underscored the need for sustained and strengthened operations by security agencies.
