President Buhari has renewed his calls for all security agencies to double their efforts in tackling all those challenging Nigeria’s sovereignty and creating insecurity through criminality in whatever way, Newspremises reports.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this after a Security Council meeting presided by President Buhari on Thursday at the Aso Villa in Abuja. He told State House correspondents that the meeting which lasted more than four hours also discussed the resurgence of criminal activities along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway.

“The President said that we are not yet where we should be; that Nigerians deserve to live in peace. We appreciate the fact that we are in the season of festivity.

"So, all agencies – committed to providing security for Nigerians and the maintenance of law and order – have been ordered to improve on their activities, intensify surveillance, and minimise if not eliminate totally any threat, and you will see an improved response to all those challenging the sovereignty of Nigeria in whatever form and creating insecurity in whatever form anywhere,” he said.

Aregbesola said President Buhari tasked the security agencies to intensify surveillance, patrol, and pursuit of criminals and eliminate any threat to law and order in the country.

Present at the meeting were Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo; Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami; Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (Rtd); Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama; Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, and the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd), were among those present at the meeting.

Others who were physically in attendance included the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Farouk Yahaya; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao; Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi; and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar.

Like treating terrorist as bandits?

Buhari's hypocrisy no be here.

This is the same thing he has been saying since he entered the office, still we can't see any change

If you are in Lagos, I am into production, packaging and distribution of popcorn and we have different distributors in different areas. If you want to partner with me and we share profit. Contact me

With due respect. Is that Mr president will be the one to tell security agent to act before them move to action?.

Rest

Buhari should be in jail for crimes Against Humanity

All talk but no result year in year out the same issues no solutions, he can only deceive his gullible supporters

As usual, nothing will be done.

Ok, so they never had this 'order' before now?

I expect him to actually drill these chiefs on why the situation is getting worse.

<>

He caused the insecurity in the first place. It wasn't this bad when he wasn't the president.

Not the first time he is ordering

Won't be the last

There will still be orderings before the year runs out

Expect a lot of ordering next year too

That's all Buhari can do about the insecurity

Yawn

Turning to a jester.

Always orders with no corresponding actions.

Are u jus wakin up frm d dead

Ok

Nigeria is comedy

They are security agents.

If they don't know that they should be dealing with security challenges without being told...

Then of what use are they?

Fire them abeg.

Or maybe it'll all just talk as usual

Nothing new. Nothing will change

Mtchew
