The Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Monday, revealed that President Buhari has always believed in the capacity of the security agencies that they can always restore peace in the country amidst security challenges.
The minister made this revelation via a press release on Monday morning at Abuja, after the first in a series of briefings on the backdrop of security challenges facing the country.
The Informant247 recalls that President Buhari had recently directed the military to crush those victimizing the country in the face of the increasing rate of terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping.
The minister revealed that president Buhari has never lost faith in the capacity of the country’s men and women in charge of security.
‘‘When many threw their arms up in the air and felt it was all over, President Buhari remained resolute. When many called for foreign mercenaries to tackle the challenges, especially terrorism and banditry, President Buhari never wavered in his belief in the ability of our gallant men and women in uniform to rise to the occasion and rise to the occasion they did,” he said.
He further said that the military and other security agencies have neutralized the top commanders of ISWAP and Boko Haram, and degraded the ability of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and its Eastern Security Network, ESN.
