The Nigerian Army is committed to enhancing security in 2024, as affirmed by Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja.
He assures an intensified focus on establishing peace across all geopolitical zones, expressing determination to redouble efforts in the coming year.
Lagbaja specifically highlights notable improvements in security, citing the cessation of attacks on critical infrastructure such as train facilities and correctional centers.
Despite recognizing the challenge of achieving total security, he remains optimistic about a significant improvement by 2024.
In response to the recent spate of attacks in Plateau State, Lagbaja announces the deployment of additional troops to maintain peace in the North-Central region.
He outlines comprehensive plans for Plateau State in 2024, with troops en route and the provision of additional equipment for enhanced operational efficiency.
Addressing calls for self-defense in the wake of attacks, the army chief dismisses the notion, reaffirming the army’s commitment to restoring security and discouraging vigilante actions.
The grim aftermath of the Christmas Eve attacks in Plateau sees the death toll rising to nearly 200, with over 50 villages affected. Authorities condemn the attacks, and President Bola Tinubu calls for a thorough investigation into the incidents.
