Babagana Monguno has said that president Buhari is persistently sad over terror attacks, The Nation report.

President Muhammadu Buhari is persistently saddened by the worsening state of insecurity, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (rtd.) stated on Thursday.

Monguno also disclosed the President had issued a fresh order to security chiefs for the immediate rescue of all Nigerians languishing in terrorists’ captivity.

Monguno spoke with State House Correspondents after the National Security Council meeting presided over by President Buhari at the Presidential Villa.

According to the NSA, the President could not afford the luxuries of a happy man when Nigerians are struggling to escape death daily, adding the last straw was the recent attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train leading to the deaths of some passengers and scores kidnapped.

The NSA noted that the President feels that enough was not being done by the security agencies despite what has been provided.

Monguno stated that the President alone cannot completely receive the blame for the insecurity in the country as his part is to make strategic decisions which the NAA said he has been doing.

He added that the surrendering of Boko Haram elements has not engendered the desired result in stemming insurgency in the country.

The NSA also spoke on the threats coming from the country’s vast land borders and the need to replicate in them what has been achieved in the maritime borders.

He also stressed the imperative of intelligence from ordinary citizens as he noted that unless the wider society is willing to provide the necessary intelligence, the problem of insecurity will linger beyond the time frame intended to end the menace.
