During a statement issued in Abuja, the group’s National Coordinator, Comrade Abbas Johnson, highlighted that coordinated intelligence-led operations have effectively struck terrorists at their core.
These operations have resulted in the seizure of vital resources, including communication equipment and fuel, significantly weakening the operational capacity of terrorist groups across the country.
In addition to celebrating these strategic successes, the Vanguard emphasized the human cost of maintaining national stability. The organization is advocating for a shift toward a more proactive intelligence doctrine that focuses on preventing attacks before they occur.
Furthermore, they expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu’s administration for ongoing initiatives aimed at strengthening national defense and supporting those defending Nigeria’s democracy.
