The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Yusuf Tukur Buratai, has said the various shades of insecurity in different parts of the country will end as soon as Nigerians want them to end.

Buratai stated this on Monday when he addressed State House Correspondents after a closed-doors meeting with President Muhmmadu Buhari in the Presidential Villa.

Buratai, who noted that various ongoing military operations in the north and other parts of the country were progressing successfully, also said that the security situation in the north had been brought under control, saying the situation had become better than it was a few months ago.

However, it would be recalled that a couple of bloody incidences had been reported in different parts of the country, especially in the north, in the last few days.

Reports had it that 19 persons were shot dead in Kukum Daji Village, Kaduna State Sunday night, while suspected bandits ambushed and killed 16 soldiers in Katsina on Saturday.

Responding to a question posed by correspondents on whether there was a possibility of the various violent crises across the country being finally put down, the Chief of Army Staff said the various criminal activities besetting the country would end if Nigerians come together to end them.

According to him, those engaging in the violent and criminal activities were almost all Nigerians, saying “these terrorists, 99 percent of them are Nigerians. These kidnappers I will say 100 percent of them are Nigerians.

“As to whether banditry, terrorism and so on will end, I think it all depends. If Nigerians want it to end today, I can assure you it will end today, if everybody joins hands because these bandits are not outside Nigeria, they are not from foreign land.
“So it’s not just a military, security agency task to end the insecurity in this country. It’s only when it goes bad that we are called in, but everybody has the responsibility to handle that.

Idiots deserve to be treated accordingly, I don't give a f**k if you run to Jesus to cry to him. Just make sure you and your worthless "we the South South" crew stay off Anioma and stop dragging us into your Igbo hating antics. God will punish you for having the temerity to even quote me, I lost so many family members in that Asaba masacre including my dad's only brother... have your ethnic cleansing government apologized to my people?
Despicable irritants.

Yes... We have two division of terrorist..



One from north..... Boko haram, fulaniHERDSman and bandit

Another one from the east..... Igbos... . They have been constituting nuisance all over.. From internet to physical one...


I pray USA help Nigeria with the latest fighter jets to finish the mission.

Just like the United States of America, Nigeria also doesn't negotiate with terrorists....


But if Boko haram cannot be killed, if Fulani mafias cannot be dealt with..

Then they should leave Igbos too.....

Just that ehnnn, those Igbos especially nairaland own, their mouth too worse.. Insults, curses na hin full their mouth....
