\u201cFollowing how events are unfolding in our nation, we are experiencing a serious conflict that I think in the history of Nigeria, this is about the first conflict that will give us a serious problem and the conflict is called asymmetric war.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NSCDC boss called for all security agencies and Nigerians to work together to solve the insecurity before it gets worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had in the past some semblance of this type of war but the proper manifestation of it is the one we are seeing now. An asymmetric war is a war that requires all hands to be on deck if we really want to deal with it and nip it in the bud.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese guys are serious; these guys have international sponsors, so we need to come together,\u201d the NSCDC boss warned.<\/p>\n

Audi advised the security agencies to avoid rivalry or service supremacy, adding that collaboration is needed to win the war against banditry.<\/p>\n

He, however, assured Nigerians that the NSCDC is working hard to rid the nation of the increased violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
