He also condemned the circulation of outdated or misleading videos being portrayed as recent incidents, warning that such content fuels misinformation and public panic.

She added, “It is disheartening that we have this insecurity. A lot of foreig

The First Lady further stated that some of those behind the att@cks are not Nigerians, saying, “Some of those terr%rising us are non-Nigerians. No matter what happens, we shall overcome. Nigeria is too great to be intimidated.”

Appealing for patience and prayers, she said, “Challenges will come, but collectively, we can tackle them. I can assure you, we don’t have Mondays or Sundays; the President is working round the clock to get this matter resolved. God has been faithful. Let us be prayerful about our nation. It is prayers that have taken us this far.”

During the meeting, traditional rulers called for tougher laws against kidnapping and the speedy creation of state police to strengthen security nationwide.
