The newly appointed National security
Adviser (NSA), Maj.-Gen Babagana Monguno
as his job cut out to him as it has been
revealed by the Governor of Borno State,
Kashim Shettima that a member of his
family is being held captive by Boko Haram
insurgents. President Buhari on Monday
named Gen. Monguno and Maj-Gen Tukur
Burutai as the NSA and the Chief of Army
Staff (COAS). They are both indigenes of
Borno state.
Shettima, who described the appointment of
the duo of Gen. Monguno and Gen. Buratai
as “ one of the happiest moments in his
lifetime”, said: “The fight to overcome
insurgents ‘is now or never’ because with
the duo, Nigeria now has the best of
chances to overcome the challenges of
insurgency facing it since 2009 .”
His words: “Yesterday was the happiest
moment of my life. President Muhammadu
Buhari made a strong statement by his
decision to appoint two highly competent
sons of Borno to the offices of the National
Security Adviser and the Chief of Army Staff.
“I think his strategy was to get people with
ancestral knowledge of the Borno terrain.
Maj-Gen Tukur Buratai is even a direct victim
of Boko Haram attacks. He lost family
members when his residence was attacked
earlier this year in Buratai, a town in Biu
Local Government area.
“Monguno (town) was destroyed and once
occupied by Boko Haram and that is where
the new NSA, retired Maj-Gen Babagana
Monguno, hails from. In fact, a key family
member of General Monguno is still being
held captive by Boko Haram insurgents.
