President Bola Tinubu has directed all service chiefs to move to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, following the recent surge of terrorist attacks in the state.
He gave the order in a statement he personally signed and made available to reporters on Tuesday, following the Monday bomb attacks.
Multiple suicide bombings by suspected Boko Haram members were recorded in the state on Monday leaving no less than 23 people d3ad.
The President, who commiserated with the Borno people over recent terror strikes, reassured them 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.
