President Bola Tinubu has directed all service chiefs to move to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, following the recent surge of terrorist attacks in the state.
The President made this known in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Tuesday, March 17, hours after Monday’s multiple suicide attacks in Borno state. The suicide attacks left at least 23 people de@d.
In his statement, President Tinubu commiserated with the people of Borno state over recent terror strikes and assured them that the Nigerian military is winning the war against the insurgents.
He revealed that during a security meeting with leaders of security and intelligence agencies last week, he approved additional equipment and operational support to enhance their capabilities.
According to him, the effort is already in progress.
“Additionally, I have directed security chiefs to move to Maiduguri to take charge of the situation. I have also directed the emergency agencies to provide proper care for the injured” the President said
