​A palpable sense of optimism is returning to the national security landscape following a series of spectacular tactical breakthroughs by frontline troops, prompting a prominent civil advocacy group to launch a massive solidarity campaign for the nation’s uniform personnel. The renewed confidence comes on the heels of a daring and highly successful operation by the Nigerian Army, which led to the rescue and release of 360 persons held captive by Boko Haram militants in the rugged terrain of the Mandara Mountains in Borno State.

​Adding momentum to this security rebound, the Nigeria Police Force also recorded a significant victory by successfully securing the freedom of the abducted sister and twin of Honourable Adelabu. Together, these high-stakes operations are being hailed as a turning point, proving the resilience and capability of security forces when backed by strategic intelligence and unwavering execution.

​Reacting to the double triumphs, the Prayer and Support for the Nigerian Armed Forces & Other Security Agencies issued an official statement declaring that these remarkable achievements deserve the heartfelt appreciation of every citizen. The convener of the group, Ambassador Mary Abayomi Fatile, saluted the bravery, sacrifice, and dedication of the personnel who stand guard through rain and shine, spending months away from their families to ensure the peace of the nation.

​While celebrating the current momentum, the group fiercely advocated for a shift in public narrative, urging Nigerians to choose active encouragement over condemnation. Ambassador Fatile emphasized that security is a shared responsibility, passionately rallying the public to adopt the mantra “if you see something, say something” by reporting suspicious activities immediately.

​Even as the group urged political leaders to lead with compassion and warned against weaponizing the security crisis for political mileage, the core message remained clear: the tide is turning, the troops are delivering, and total victory is possible if the citizens stand firmly behind the men and women in uniform.
