Public frustration is growing over the security situation under the leadership of General Christopher Musa. When he was appointed, many Nigerians welcomed the move, expecting a serving general to bring stronger results against banditry and terrorism. Months later, accounts circulating online and on the streets say insecurity has not improved and has in some areas become worse. Residents and commentators are now pointing out that attackers have reportedly turned attention toward communities in his own state, while critics argue that the response so far has been more statements than visible results.
