Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has sacked his national security adviser and defence minister, amid mounting violence in the north.
Security adviser Owoye Azazi will be replaced by Sambo Dasuki, a spokesman said. It is not clear who will succeed Defence Minister Bello Mohammed.
The north has seen frequent attacks by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram.
On Sunday, 36 people died in bomb attacks on churches in the state of Kaduna and in subsequent rioting.
