He remarked further that, “while we pray, it is important to also point out that this serves as the latest reminder of the urgent need to reform our security architecture to better safeguard the lives and properties of the Nigerian citizens.” “It is unacceptable for terrorists to plan attacks of this nature, mobilize arms and ammunition, secure funding and move large numbers of people across large spaces without detection by the security agencies,” he said.
“By doing this we will severely restrict the capacity for terrorists to re-arm themselves to execute attacks.
