Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says the Federal Government is not overwhelmed by the widespread insecurity in the nation as it has the capacity to crush bandits, terrorists, insurgents and other criminals.
Speaking at press conference in Lagos, Mohammed maintained that the security agencies were not lacking the personnel and the firepower to deal with the enemies of the state.
“It is no longer news that our dear nation is facing security challenges. However, I have read comments saying the Federal Government is overwhelmed and doesn’t have a clue as to how to tackle the challenges. Some have even gone as far as suggesting a truncation of the democratic order, a clearly treasonable stance.

“Well, I am here today to assure all Nigerians that while the government acknowledges the security challenges we face at this time, from terrorism to kidnaping, banditry and farmer-herder conflict, it is definitely not overwhelmed and indeed it has the wherewithal, as you will see in the days ahead, to confront the challenges headlong and restore law and order, peace and security.”
