The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has refuted claims that insecurity in the country is on the rise.

According to him, several western countries’ narratives about the country’s security condition are untrue.

On Wednesday, the president addressed at the start of a three-day strategic communication conference for State Commandants and Public Relations Officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Abuja.

Buhari, through his spokesman, Femi Adeshina, declared that the insecurity seen in various regions of the country was under control.

He said, “While insecurity is not gone, it is not rising. To a large extent, there is control over the security situation in the country. This is irrespective of the western nations said about the security situation, we know that is not exactly the truth.

“Our security agencies have a firm grip and control of the security situation in the country. I oppose the word rising insecurity in the country, it is not rising, it is under control and it will further be under control till it is completely checked.“

The Commandant General of the NSCDC, Ahmed Audi, stated that the Federal Government was doing all possible to reduce instability in the country.

Audi, on the other hand, encouraged Nigerians to ignore statements intended to undermine the federal government’s efforts to combat insecurity in the country, noting that protecting the country required the cooperation of security services and civilians.

He said, “Security is not an exclusive prerogative of Security Agencies alone but actually a symbiotic responsibility between security agencies and the civil populace.

“I enjoin all Nigerian citizens to work in concert with the security agents across board and discard the very insensitive utterances aimed at discrediting the efforts of the Federal Government. More importantly, politicians should not politicize the security situation in the country, just as the Federal Government resolutely show far more commitment in stepping-up strategies in the fight against terrorism and other crimes in Nigeria.“
