DEALING WITH INTERNAL SECURITY IN NIGERIA

Preambles: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will
say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God in him will I trust.--------------- Thou shall not be afraid of the terror by night; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with
thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him and
honour him.With long life will I satisfy him and shew him my salvation.” Psalm 91:1-8; 14-16. KJV.
