Nigerias Government Expresses Worries over North East Security Report

Service Chiefs Demand for More Equipment

The Federal Government of Nigeria has expressed worries over the security reports it got from the security chiefs on the North-Eastern part of the Nation. The statement was made after the government had reviewed the situation of the region critically in the meeting that lasted for a two and a half hour in the Presidential Villa, Abuja. At least, 19 people were killed when terrorists attacked a village in northeast in the early hours of Sunday. The attack occurred in the village of Mailari in the Guzamala region of Borno state, at around 2:00 a.m. of Sunday, August 19, 2018. Reuters quoted a survivor, Umar, as saying he had counted 19 dead people, including his younger brother.
