*AGATU SECURITY HEAD, MAJOR MAGAJI NOT TRANSFERRED, ATTENDING COUNTER-TERRORISM TRAINING IN MAIDUGURI*
Contrary to earlier reports of security head being transferred on political involvement, Major Magaji, the Head of Security (Army) in Agatu LGA, has not been transferred. Instead, he has been shortlisted to attend a counter-terrorism training program in Maiduguri, according to sources.
This clarification comes amidst allegations of his involvement in local politics, reportedly linked to Hon. Melvin James Ejeh. The training is likely part of Nigeria’s efforts to strengthen counter-terrorism capabilities, with President Tinubu ordering security chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri following recent terrorist attacks.
The Nigeria Police Force has also been enhancing its counter-terrorism strategy through specialized training for officers and establishing new operational bases across the country.
