President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to pray for terrorists and bandits to repent and abandon their criminal activities, even as his administration ramps up military and intelligence efforts to tackle insecurity across the country.
The President made the appeal on Thursday, May 28, 2026, during a high-level meeting with security chiefs and traditional rulers at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The meeting focused on the persistent challenges of terrorism, kidnapping, and banditry in various parts of Nigeria.
Tinubu emphasised that while the government remains fully committed to decisive action, spiritual intervention and public support are equally vital in the fight against insecurity.
“Nigeria should pray that terrorists and bandits will have a rethink and abandon their evil ways. We are determined to secure this country, protect lives and ensure that every Nigerian can live without fear,” the President said.
He reiterated his administration’s resolve to sustain military operations, strengthen intelligence gathering, and enhance coordination among security agencies.
The President also assured Nigerians of continued investment in modern security equipment and strategies aimed at ending insurgency and banditry.
Tinubu urged citizens to actively support security operatives by providing timely and credible intelligence, warning that criminals thrive when communities remain silent or indifferent.
The appeal comes amid ongoing security concerns in parts of the North-West, North-East, and other regions where banditry and kidnapping have continued to disrupt lives and economic activities, despite reported gains by the military in recent operations.
This marks the latest in a series of engagements by the Tinubu administration on the third anniversary of his presidency, as the government seeks both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches to restoring peace and stability nationwide.
