President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that all military check points across the nation be removed, even as he ordered that police should henceforth be in charge of internal security.
This was disclosed by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry of defence, Alhaji Ismail Aliyu on Monday while addressing State House Correspondents after a meeting between the President and the service chiefs.
He further revealed that the president equally directed the security chiefs to liaise with the Police on taking over internal security.
Alhaji Aliyu noted that Buhari’s meeting with the security chiefs was to give them the opportunity to brief the president on the implementations of recent decisions reached on the fight against insurgency.
He further disclosed that the military high command used the meeting to brief the President on the relocation of the command centre to Maiduguri as he directed on the day of his inauguration.
