“Security still yet to improve since NASS ultimatum to Buhari” - Okechukwu
Okechukwu further stated that since the National Assembly issued an ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari, the security situation failed to subside even after it had elapsed.
He said
“Security situation has not improved until I am able to go from Abuja to Kaduna the way I used to. In my state the other day they kidnapped a former SSG and some students going back to the university, how can I say it has improved?”

In its terror alert, the US warned Nigerians not to visit some areas listed in the advisory terror alert.
Meanwhile, the presidency and security agencies have urged Nigerians to keep calm, go about their daily business, and be cautious of suspicious or funny activities around their environment.
