Attack threats: Security agencies will ensure polls hold nationwide, says Buratai | TheCable NigeriaDecides2023
The former chief of army staff said he is confident that security forces will ensure a peaceful conduct of elections in the country.
“In the south-east, there’s IPOB. Even though they carry out attacks, most of their threats are empty and just to insert fear in people and I’m certain the security forces won’t allow them especially when it comes to the election period. “In an investigation that we received recently, shootings and attacks have reduced by 48%. In fact, Nigeria is now out of the list of nations with high level of security challenges and terrorism. So if you look at it, ISWAP/Boko Haram are being defeated.
