President Muhammadu Buhari says he is “extremely worried” by insecurity in the country, hinting that some of the service chiefs could be relieved of their duties.
The president spoke in a Thursday interview with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in the wake of the release of 344 kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School (GSSS), Kankara, Katsina State.
He also hinted that some of the nation’s service chiefs could be replaced, as has been demanded by the National Assembly and the majority of Nigerians.
“I am extremely worried about the insecurity, and I hope next year it will be different, those among the law enforcement agencies that will remain in charge will be extremely busy,” President Buhari said.
