President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday thumbed down for heads of security agencies in the country, bemoaning their abysmal performance.

He declared that excuses will no longer be tolerated, asking everyone to justify their appointments into the positions of leadership of the nation’s security architecture.

He said further the President expressed serious concerns over proliferation of small arms, light weapons and abuse of illicit drugs, which he said had impacted the security situation in the regions gravely.

He also expressed displeasure over the lack of synergy amongst security forces and charged the various aspects of the security architecture to work together to solve the nation’s security challenges.

The Service Chiefs were led by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin.

Present at the meeting were the Chief of Army Staff. LT Gen. Tukur Buratai, Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari and the Minister of Defence, retired Maj.-Gen. Bashir Magashi,

Babagana Monguno, the Director-General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Mr Yusuf Bichi and the Director General of National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ahmed Rufa’i.
