Military Alone Cannot Address Today’s Complex Security Threats, Says Army Chief

Nigeria's Army Chief has asserted that military might alone is insufficient to tackle the nation's multifaceted security challenges. His statement comes as the country grapples with escalating violence and insecurity across various regions.

In response to the worsening situation, members of the House of Representatives have summoned the Minister of Finance, the National Security Adviser, service chiefs, and the Inspector General of Police. The summons aims to address the growing concerns over the deteriorating security landscape and to seek comprehensive solutions.

To bolster ongoing security operations, the Deputy Inspectors General of Police (DIGs) have been deployed to their respective zones to enhance coordination and effectiveness. Meanwhile, a lawmaker expressed worry over the persistent abduction of students, highlighting a critical area of concern for national safety and education. The collective efforts signal a heightened focus on addressing the complex web of security threats facing Nigeria.
