Buhari disclosed this while performing the inauguration of Falcon Eye Project, the Nigerian Navy’s Strategic Maritime Surveillance System, on Tuesday at the Naval Headquarters, Abuja.

Monguno made the call at the ongoing United Nations High-Level Conference of Heads of Counter-Terrorism Agencies of member states in New York.

Those familiar with the undercurrents of the relationship between the cabal and the NSA said the cabal was not comfortable with the romance between Monguno and the Service Chiefs.

The National Security Adviser to the President, retired Major General Babagana Monguno, said the President made this known at a crucial security meeting in Abuja on Friday.

Recall that the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, in a BBC Hausa interview, last month revealed that funds running into billions of naira meant for the procurement of arms and ammunition under the past service chiefs were unaccounted for.

Mungono said this in a speech at the third quarterly meeting of Secretaries of State Governments held on Thursday in Abuja.

The subject matter in a recent chat he had with BBC Hausa Service was quoted to have lamented the inability of Nigerian troops to contain insurgency due largely to inadequate arms and ammunition and other requisite military hardware. The BBC report had alluded that Monguno referenced misappropriated funds by former Service Chiefs.

Some critical questions emanate from Shehu’s waffle and the NSA Office’s peremptory denial. What is obvious is that they are both trying to be clever by half. The variance between what Monguno’s office claimed he said and what was attributed to him in the media are too diametrically opposed that no one needed to be told that someone had attempted to play pranks in this episode

Ugochukwu issued the threat in a statement titled, ‘Lt. Gen. TY Buratai and other ex- Service Chiefs Never Fiddled With Arms Fund,’ which he signed, and released in Abuja, late on Friday.

Monguno, in a statement on Friday, said his interview with BBC Hausa was quoted out of contest.

The former Service Chiefs are ex-Chief of Defence Staff, Abayomi Olonisakin; former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai; former Chief of Naval Staff, Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas; and former Chief of Air Staff, Sadique Abubakar.

This was even as the Minister of Communication and Digital Technology, Isa Pantani, has said the country would soon produce a national policy on the 5G Network deployment in Nigeria based on an extensive research conducted by the Federal Government in partnership with stakeholders and global bodies.

The Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this when he led the Federal Government delegation to the state for a first hand information of what had happened.

A statement from the Office of the National Security Adviser on Saturday stated that the meeting, which was attended by the Service Chiefs and Heads of Law Enforcement, Security and Intelligence Agencies, discussed the threats of kidnapping, terrorism, banditry, armed robbery and the resultant consequences of these threats on lives and property.

In a directive to the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (retd), the President ordered that there must be a clear pathway to ending the resurgent banditry that has continued to cost lives and the displacement of thousands of families from their towns and villages.

The Governor said this when he received a Federal Government delegation led by the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, on Sunday.

Security sources had confirmed to The Cable that over 300 students were unaccounted for after the attack.

The President had on Thursday met with members of the nation’s security and intelligence community, and later addressed the nation on the #EndSARS protests embarked upon by some aggrieved youths in the country
