His words:
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!
“I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.
“The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.
“May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.”
Nigeria's security architecture needs redesigning - lawyer
Meanwhile, speaking on the state of insecurity in Nigeria, Binzak Azeez, a legal practitioner, said Nigeria's security architecture needs to be redesigned.
"The present security architecture of the country, which has received more attention, should also be redesigned. The overconcentration of power in the hands of the president is not helping in the fight against abduction and insecurity generally," Azeez told Legit.ng.
"The state government, through the local government, should be constitutionally empowered to maintain security in their respective state. This reform will put the state governments on their toes to guarantee security and to further effectively hamper security saboteurs in each state, as the state government will be directly responsible for security. With this security arrangement, no state can further hide under the federal government shield."
