The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, on Tuesday vowed that the Federal Government would sustain its onslaught against terrorists and kidnappers until they were completely defeated.
The NSA gave the assurance in Abuja when he handed over 128 persons rescued from kidnappers in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara to the state government.
He said: ”There will be no respite in our operations. There will be no safe haven for those who terrorise our citizens. We will hunt, find, and bring them to justice.”
Ribadu described the latest rescue as a victory for the Nigerian people and a crushing blow to the networks of terror that sought to undermine peace in the country.
He commended the armed forces, police, intelligence agencies, and other operatives for doing a great job against the criminals.

“Your commitment is a testament to our renewed national security strategy,” he stated.
Ribadu also cautioned against politicising the plight of victims, saying the pain of victims should never be turned into a tool for partisan gain.
He urged religious and political leaders, civil society, and community influencers to rise above division and work together in the spirit of unity and compassion.
Earlier, the National Coordinator, National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Maj.-Gen. Adamu Laka, said the victims were rescued in two batches after coordinated security operations.
He added that the first batch, rescued on August 14, comprised 42 individuals – 40 males, seven females and a toddler, while the second batch, rescued on August 19, comprised 34 males and 54 females.
