We need to support our security agencies with superior weapons and not with prayers - El-Rufai

Governor Nasir El-Rufai has stated that Nigerian security agencies need to be supported with superior weapons and not with prayers.  The Kaduna state Governor said this at a town hall meeting organised by the national security adviser, which had governors from the north-west region and traditional rulers in attendance.  El-Rufai who noted that security should be the number one priority of the government and collective responsibility of all citizens, decried the attacks carried out on miltary men by bandits.  He said;  “This town hall meeting is not complete without other stakeholders because of the short notice. So, we agreed that this north-west be reconvened in the next two weeks. The date will be announced by the NSA and COAS. “Bandits now have the audacity to attack the military men. Bandits have become vulgar. Those who are not informed believe nothing is being done to deal with them.“We need to support our security agencies not with prayers, but with superior weapons. Security is a collective responsibility.“All of us, the governors, are going round, talking with stakeholders to calm people down.”The post We need to support our security agencies with superior weapons and not with prayers - El-Rufai appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
