The National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (retd), has said that the country is in a difficult situation based on insecurity caused by insurgents and other criminals.
The insurgents appear to be getting bolder and more daring by the day, as they have been attacking Abuja, the presidential city, in recent days.
Examples are the attack on the Kuje Correctional Centre and the presidential guard.
The terrorists who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train and kidnapped many passengers have also vowed to kidnap President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State.
Speaking on Thursday after the Security cCuncil meeting chaired by the President, said Buhari was well aware of the dire security challenges the country finds itself in at the moment.
However, he said the solution will not come from a single strategy.
He said, “We are in a difficult situation. The council understands. The President understands. But there is no straight, cut and drive method around this unless we collectively fight it.
“People are getting tired and are beginning to gravitate into other means of self-help. But the truth is that help is rooted in everyone working together to end this.
“The various entities concerned have started working on these new strategies. They have also given their word to the President.”
