“Our security services are trying because, as the president, I know what they are doing. Nigerians may not appreciate their efforts, especially when you know that we are underpoliced. We have a police force that is about 300,000 in number.

“Countries that have the kind of challenge that we have today who have about 20 per cent of our population have five times more than that number. That number would have been okay some years back but definitely not the number that can cope with the security challenges we have now.”
