In response to a devastating Maiduguri bomb blast that left 23 people dead and over 100 injured, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a strict order for his top security and intelligence chiefs to relocate to the North-East immediately.
This move is intended to allow leadership to take direct control of operations against Boko Haram and ISWAP militants.
The President described the recent coordinated attacks as "profoundly upsetting," viewing them as desperate acts by terrorists who are currently under immense pressure from the Nigerian military forces.
While managing the volatile security situation, the Federal Government has also had to fight a war of information.
A viral image, masquerading as a tweet from U.S. President Donald Trump, circulated online criticizing the President’s leadership and his recent UK state visit.
Presidential aide Sunday Dare quickly labeled the image as "Fake!!!", clarifying that no such message exists on any verified Trump accounts.
The government insists that despite these coordinated suicide bombings and malicious fake news, the nation will not succumb to fear, as the incumbent administration prioritizes a return to peace.
