saying eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
The Minister urged Nigerians to keep our gallant and victorious troops in their prayers and to also imbibe the mantra of ‘if you see something, say
something’ as a way of ensuring that no escaped terrorist is able to
wreak havoc in their communities adding that It is also important to know that
