President Bola Tinubu has ordered a comprehensive overhaul of national security strategies to address escalating violence in several states, including Borno, Benue, Plateau, and Kwara. During a meeting with security chiefs at the State House in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized that the killing of innocent people must cease, declaring “Enough is enough”.
