Bola Tinubu Orders Training and Arming of Forest Guards to Boost Security in Nigeria

Former Governor Bola Tinubu has directed the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, to intensify the training and arming of Forest Guards as part of urgent measures to combat security threats in Nigeria. The move aims to tackle criminal elements, kidnappings, and terrorism by deploying equipped personnel to deny criminals safe havens in the country's vast forest reserves.

This decision follows the declaration of a national security emergency and calls for expanded recruitment across security agencies.
