Those complaining of insecurity are playing politics – Buratai 

Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, accused those complaining about insecurity in the country of being political, as according to him, insecurity has been tackled.

The army chief who spoke during a visit to the troops stationed at 1 Division Super Camp in Kuyello, Birnin Gwari in Kaduna on Monday, insisted that efforts of the military in the North East and North West regions of the country has reduced insecurity there as well as other parts of the country.

“All these cries of insecurity which some groups and individuals are taking it as a political game, I think they should have a rethink because it is no longer the case,” Buratai said.

He emphasised that both the banditry in the North West and Boko Haram insurgency in the North East have been tactically defeated.

He warned that those playing politics with the security situations in the country should desist, adding that the army would not hesitate to take action against them.

”Apart from some isolated remote areas as a result of some other factors, the attacks have drastically reduced.

“That means we are winning and it is a great success which people should be assured.

”Insecurity has been tamed right now in the northeast and in the northwest and even in other areas we are doing so well.

”Our troops are deployed in support of the government, civil police and indeed the civil authorities,” he said
