Oluwu of Kuta, Oba Hammed Makama Oyelude (CON), Tegbosun 111, has reiterated the call on Nigerians to support the Nigerian Army in the face of daunting security challenges and emerging new trends.
According to the statement by his media office in Kuta at the weekend, Oba Makama said the invasion of the country by various militias and mercenary has posed another threat to national security.
He, therefore, urged all and sundry, especially traditional rulers, to ensure that their domains are safe and secure from the hydra headed terrorists.
“As we all know, the Nigerian Army is responsible for the promotion and securing of our territorial integrity, which is the symbol of our sovereignty, so, we must all rally round them to ensure that they succeed in this onerous task.”

Waxing philosophical, the monarch said: “To keep Nigeria as a one is a task that must be achieved, failure of which will remain an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
“It’s unthinkable that Pakistanis will be caught training the Boko Haram insurgency on how to attack the symbol of our sovereignty, which is the Nigerian Army.
“They’ve also gone ahead to acquire weapons such as UAV (drones) and latest military hardwares to confront our army. We must ensure that all hands are on deck to defeat this deadly ‘monster’ before it’s too late,” the monarch added.
He also commended the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt General Olufemi Oluyede, for prioritising troops’ welfare and leading from the front.
