Edo abduction: Insecurity will end under me – Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has condemned Saturday’s abduction of passengers waiting to board a train at Igueben Station, Edo State, to Warri, saying Nigeria will prevail over forces of darkness.

The former Lagos governor, in a statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, on Tuesday in Abuja, said it was another sad episode in the security challenges facing the country.

He sympathised with the victims and their families and urged the federal government, Edo State government and local authorities to work with the security agencies to secure the release of all the victims.

Part of the statement read, “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 the 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, neighbourhoods and forests safer for socio-economic activities to thrive and bloom.”
