Nigeria Is Adequately Secured - Chief of Defence Staff

                                 

Are you one of those concerned about the security situation of the country? Do you think the security situation in Nigeria is deteriorating? I have a shocker for you, the Chief of Defence Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi PetinrinStaff  yesterday said you are off mark. Speaking yesterday in Lagos while commissioning the Joint Maritime Security Training Centre in Ojo, the CDS said “Those saying Nigeria is insecure or emphasising insecurity in the nation should know that in a country of 36 states, if there are skirmishes or
 trouble in four or five states, and the security agencies are tackling it, it is a misunderstanding of the situation to say there is insecurity in the country.
“I know there are certain states having problems of security challenges. You can name them: Borno, Yobe, partially Adamawa and Bauchi and a few incursions into Kano. You cannot because of this conclude that there is insecurity in the entire country.
“We have 36 states and Abuja and if we go by statistics, the fact that you have stable security in over 30 states out of the 36 states, tells you the nation is adequately secured.”
