Federal Government seeks law to regulate online media
The Nigerian Government says despite the current security challenge in the country, the security situation we have now is better than that of 2015.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, disclosed this while answering questions at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, January 25.
According to him, “I can say without hesitation that, though Nigeria is facing security challenges, the situation is far better than what we met in 2015.
I can tell you today that the armed forces, the police and other security and intelligence agencies are ramping up their efforts to enhance the security of lives and property across the country, and the results are beginning to show.
Since the beginning of this year, which is barely three weeks old, the Armed Forces of Nigeria have neutralised 158 criminal elements across the country. This is in addition to scores of other terrorists and armed bandits killed during airstrikes.
Some 52 criminal elements were arrested, with scores of arms, ammunition and equipment recovered. Troops have also rescued a total of 17 kidnapped victims across the country.”
