Terror alert: Northerners ask Buhari to sack NSA, service chiefs
Buhari had been urged to sack National Security Adviser (NSA) Babagana Monguno and the current service chiefs.
The call was made on Friday, October 28, by the Arewa Youth Assembly, a northern group.
This call came on the heels of terror alerts from the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) which have also been confirmed by some other foreign nations.
According to the group in its statement released on Friday in Kaduna state, President Buhari should immediately sack heads of the Department of State Services, the National Intelligence Agency, and the service chiefs.
Moreover, the group's speaker, Mohammed Danlami, advised Buhari to relocate to Kaduna or Katsina since those employed to protect him and Nigerians have failed in their responsibilities.
