Lai Mohammed who made this statement at a briefing in Abuja said: “The country is facing security challenges, and the challenges are being tackled headlong.
“I just want to say that the government, which has provided and continues to provide the military and the security agencies with the wherewithal, believes in their ability to tackle insecurity.
