Insecurity: Give Buhari freedom to work, expert tells Nigerians

A security expert, Col. Ola Majoyeogbe (retd.), has cautioned Nigerian against pressurising President Muhammadu Buhari on the issue of security saying if he is elected to lead the nation, he should be given freedom to take security decisions.
