President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed all Services Chiefs to move to Maiduguri, Borno State capital, following the recent surge of terrorist attacks in the state.
The President made this known in a statement personally signed and made available to newsmen on Tuesday March 17, hours after Monday’s multiple attacks that left at least 23 people dead and many injured.
In a statement, President Tinubu commiserated with the people of Borno State over terror strikes and assured them that the Nigerian Military is winning the war against the insurgents.
