Legit.ng also reported that the leadership of Nigeria's National Assembly (NASS) opened up on the true state of the country's security challenges and their attendant effects.
During a summit organised by the House of Representatives special committee on security on Wednesday, May 26, the speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the Senate president, Ahmad Lawan, lamented over the increasing activities of bandits and terrorists in Nigeria.
Gbajabiamila noted that at such a time when insurgency is shaking the foundation of the country, it is proper to admit that the efforts to tackle insecurity have so far not yielded the desired results.
Meanwhile, Senator Clifford Ordia of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called on the federal government to overhaul Nigeria's security architecture, warning that no one was safe anymore in the country.
Ordia said this after an armed gang attacked his convoy while he was returning from Edo to Abuja on Monday, April 26.
