Terror Attacks: Tinubu Directs Service Chiefs To Move To Borno

President Bola Tinubu has ordered all service chiefs to deploy to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, in response to the recent spike in terrorist attacks.

Tinubu made this known in a statement he personally signed and made available to reporters on Tuesday, following the Monday bomb attacks that claimed the lives of at least 23 people.

Recall that multiple suicide bombings by suspected Boko Haram members were recorded in the state on Monday.

The President, who commiserated with the Borno people over recent terror strikes, assured that the Nigerian military is winning the war against the insurgents.

He revealed that during a security meeting with leaders of security and intelligence agencies last week, he approved additional equipment and operational support to enhance their capabilities.

According to him, the effort is already in progress.

“Additionally, I have directed security chiefs to move to Maiduguri to take charge of the situation.

"I have also directed the emergency agencies to provide proper care for the injured,” Tinubu added.
