Recall that President Tinubu had on June 19 removed all the service chiefs he met in office exactly three weeks after his inauguration and appointed new ones whom he directed to resume with immediate effect.

The move by the President followed persistent calls by civil society organisations that the security architecture be rejigged and fresh hands allowed to handle the nation’s security apparatus.

Meanwhile, some Nigerians have been waiting for the President to fulfill his promise over insecurity challenge facing the country.
