President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday approved new security measures specifically for the South-East and South-South geo-political zones of the country.
This is even as a decision has been taken not to publicise the measures to be deployed to tackle insecurity in the country henceforth for a more effective result.
Acting Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, who briefed State House correspondents alongside the National Security Adviser, NSA, Major-General Babagana Monguno (Rtd), Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, said President Buhari gave the approval during the National Security Council meeting he chaired at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
