Security forces will monitor threats at airports – NSA

The National Security Adviser (NSA) to the President, Babagana Monguno, has guaranteed airport users and shareholders of aviation infrastructure safety in the nation.

NSA declared that dire government infrastructures have been attacked in the past few months because of the deteriorating security state in the nation.

According to a statement on Thursday, the National Security Adviser Office guaranteed airport users that there was no reason to be worried for any security breach at more than 20 airports of the country.

The statement read, “The attention of the Office of the National Security Adviser has been drawn to reports of a threat of the nation’s airports from an internal government correspondence.

“The correspondence was a routine threat assessment to ensure preparedness of agencies and not meant for public dissemination.

“In the period covered by the correspondence, threat analysis identified the need to advise airports management nationwide to upgrade existing security measures around the nation’s airports.

“Regrettably, the unauthorised releases of this advisory is likely to raise fear among airport users home and abroad.

“Accordingly, this statement is issued to reassure the public and all aviation stakeholders of the safety of our airports.

“Security and intelligence agencies in the country will continue to monitor security threats and provide the assessment and timely advice required by airport managements to continuously upgrade security measures in the airports.”
