President Muhammadu buhari 

President Muhammadu Buhari has affirmed that insecurity is declining in the country. He stated this in his goodwill message to felicitate with Muslim Ummah on the occasion of Eid-el-Malud issued by Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) on Monday.

He used the occasion to comment on the increased activities the Armed Forces, Police Force, and intelligence agencies have embarked upon to effectively respond to the security challenges in the nation.

According to the statement, Buhari affirmed that the government fully expected and intended for the trends to continue, and called on the media to “address the tone, content, and standards of reporting into security and safety measures. Time has come to revise the prefixes ‘rising insecurity’ with ‘declining insecurity.”

The president added that increased cooperation and collaboration from the citizenry, coupled with reinvigorated, dynamic, and energised police, security and military leadership would help the administration score more victories against terror, criminality, and economic sabotage.

He added: “The reality of declining insecurity should replace the inaccurate narrative of rising insecurity in the country.

“While there is work to do, the men and women in uniform who are helping the nation to achieve this goal desire our collective appreciation and encouragement to do even more. The whole country and its mass communication systems have a duty in this regard.”

Meanwhile, over 40 people were killed in Goronyo LGA of Sokoto state.

Gunmen were said to have attacked a market in the area, between Sunday and Monday.
