The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has assured Nigerians that the Federal Government is handling the problem of insecurity in the country.

He said the insinuation in some quarters that the government was clueless was unfounded, adding that the result of government’s efforts would soon be evident.

A statement said the minister spoke on Tuesday during a press briefing in Lagos.

He said, “It is no longer news that our dear nation is facing security challenges. However, I have read comments saying the Federal Government is overwhelmed and doesn’t have a clue as to how to tackle the challenges. Some have even gone as far as suggesting a truncation of the democratic order, a clearly treasonable stance.

“Well, I am here today to assure all Nigerians that while the government acknowledges the security challenges we face at this time, from terrorism to kidnapping, banditry and farmer-herder conflict, it is definitely not overwhelmed and indeed it has the wherewithal, as you will see in the days ahead, to confront the challenges headlong and restore law and order, peace and security.

Mohammed explained that the government indeed knew the locations of kidnappers, adding that security agencies were only being careful to avoid civilian casualties.

“One of the most difficult things to do, for a democratically-elected government, is to use the instruments of coercion against its own people. For example, while the nation’s military have superior firepower over the rag tag band of Boko Haram and ISWA, the terrorists most often than not operate among the populace, either in our villages or towns, hence the military, in tackling them, is usually careful to avoid collateral damage.

“The same applies to the kidnappers who abduct our school children. Usually, the location of the kidnappers is not unknown to security forces, but they still have to exercise caution in order not to hurt the same children they are trying to rescue. Despite these inhibitions, the security forces have the wherewithal to decisively tackle the challenges,” he added.

He lamented the attacks on security agencies in some parts of the country, saying they were a declaration of war.

Na so

Thunder fire you and your supporters

This government is filled with idiots

That is why they kidnapped men and women for shield, any sensible government will not allow his people to be kidnapped, once you allow terrorist to have access to your people it will be very difficult to win them

Imagine...

Yet, you continue to leave them to operate freely to the extent of bringing our dear country to her knees.
Honestly, it's a pity this is where we found ourselves as a country.

Ha!!!.....

Government of terrorists!

We neef the government to prevent the ease of kidnapping and inflow of unregistered migrants, an average Nigerian should be registered with an ID that is needed to be presented for every govt and social facilities as small as intercity travel. I sell powerbank for laptop, over ten hours guaranteed and twenty hours possible. Increase your productivity and work when you like. Don't get mistaken for a Yahoo boy because of your generator noise. 08065.31.6307. It takes serious effort and less prayer to fix Nigeria as God has endowed us enough!

Old age no good oooo.

Lol.. nothing person no go hear from these APC people

The only thing that got at me here and turned my stomach is this so-called farmer herder crisis. Why not call it what is? Herder killings and killings and killings!!!!!!!! Farmer didn't go to Herder's camp. Herder came to farmer's farm. So who is the offender here? Call something what it is. That will be the first step of solving the problem. Are we really serious in this country to solving our problems? If we truly are, we have to be true to ourselves. Call a spade a spade. I love this country. Don't get me wrong. However, not in the way the country is being steered for sometimes, especially in recent times

Story, what lame talk is that! You don't know how to set surveillance and launch a coordinated attack? Go and learn from US SEAL, how they rescues an American kidnapped in Nigeria by Bokoharam with zero collateral damage on the victim. Useless Zoo military
