In light of escalating violence in Borno and Benue states, the Federal Government has initiated a comprehensive review of its security strategy. The move follows recent attacks attributed to insurgent groups, resulting in significant casualties and heightened tensions in the affected regions.
A senior government official stated, “The President has directed security agencies to adopt a more robust and intelligence-driven approach to counter the threats posed by these criminal elements.”
In Borno, renewed assaults by insurgents have led to the appointment of Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar as the new commander overseeing counter-insurgency operations. This leadership change aims to reinvigorate efforts against the insurgents.
Meanwhile, in Benue, persistent attacks on farming communities have disrupted agricultural activities and displaced numerous residents. Local leaders have called for increased federal intervention to restore peace and security.
The government emphasizes its commitment to safeguarding citizens and restoring stability, urging collaboration among security agencies and community stakeholders.
