As you are all aware, I was in Borno State with the Ministers of Defence and other service chiefs three weeks ago to assess the security situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought it wise to return to reassess the renewed attacks and engage stakeholders on the way forward. Security is not a one-man business. I appeal to everyone to join the fight against Boko Haram and ISWAP, banditry, kidnapping, and all forms of criminality for the peace and development of our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to bringing lasting peace and development to all parts of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are witnessing here is an eclipse caused by pressure on terrorists in the Sahel region, forcing them to increase attacks in Nigeria, especially around the porous borders of the Lake Chad Basin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working diligently to address these challenges. During my recent trip to Russia, Nigeria maintained a non-aligned stance but engaged with key stakeholders ready to partner with us in this fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have procured more sophisticated weapons which will soon be deployed alongside new strategies to end the madness of terrorism,\u201d Musa said.<\/p>\n<p>The CDS, who was on assessment in the state, also visited Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri, where explosions occurred at the armoury due to heat waves.<\/p>\n<p>The defence chief also met with key stakeholders alongside senior military officials from the Theatre Command Sector 1 Operation Hadin Kai, at the 7 Division, Maimalari Cantonment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
