Guns Can’t End Boko Haram, Other Security Challenges – Army

The new spokesperson of the Nigerian Army, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, had said that guns alone can’t stop the prevailing security threats across the country.

Naija News reports that Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu stated this on Wednesday while taking over as Director, Army Public Relations at the Army Headquarters.

According to the Army spokesperson, the myriads of security challenges in Nigeria required a multifaceted approach to surmount.

He said: “Permit me to note here that it’s an indisputable and very well established fact, that the sword or gun, cannot alone provide a panacea to the complex and multifaceted security challenges that characterize today’s world.

“I must, therefore, make haste to say that the complex nature of these security challenges requires a multi-disciplinary approach and a conglomerate of stakeholders, of which the media is a very vital one.

“In decisively overcoming these challenges, the NA and the media must be partners in progress to surmount these security threats in order to berth the peace and tranquillity we all earnestly desire as a people and nation.”
