The Presidency has suggested that external interests may be contributing to Nigeria’s ongoing security challenges.
It noted that emerging intelligence points to the possible involvement of foreign actors in exacerbating instability across parts of the country, raising concerns about the broader implications for national security.
According to the Presidency, while internal factors remain significant, there are indications that outside elements could be playing a role in deepening the crisis, either directly or indirectly.
The government stressed the need for heightened vigilance and a coordinated response among security agencies to address both domestic and external threats.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty and ensuring that all factors—local and international—are thoroughly examined in efforts to restore peace and stability.
