The Presidency on Sunday tackled former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s claim that the reported 5,091 Nigerians killed in violent incidents over a three months period was an indictment on President Bola Tinubu’s government, insisting that security agencies had in the same window killed more than 13,000 terrorists and rescued thousands more Nigerians from captivity.
Atiku described President Bola Tinubu’s security record as “soaked in blood” and cited the 5,091 death toll as grounds for the government’s removal.
Reacting, Ajayi said, “In the last three months, the security agencies have, according to official figures, killed between 13,000 to 20,000 terrorists. They have rescued at least 10,000 of Nigerians across the DSS, the police, the military.
