The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Sunday, called for an emergency meeting with security chiefs in Abuja.
He also expressed optimism that given the ongoing efforts on the part of the military and other security and intelligence agencies with the active support of the civilian population, the nation will emerge victorious against the current challenges facing it.
According to him, “Nigeria is no exception in having terror threats listed in foreign government’s travel advice to their citizens. “UK and US travel advisories also state there is a high likelihood of terror attacks in many Western European nations. “Indeed, the UK and US advice to their respective citizens for travel to one another’s countries contain the same warning. Unfortunately, terror is a reality all over the world.”“Since the July prison raid, security measures have been reinforced in and around the FCT.
“Heightened monitoring and interception of terrorist communications ensure potential threats are caught further upstream. Attacks are being foiled. Security agents are proactively rooting out threats to keep citizens safe – much of their work unseen and necessarily confidential,” he added.All rights reserved.
