CDS Musa to Nigerians: We need useful information to tackle insecurity

By Ahmed Ubandoma

The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS Gen. Christopher Musa, has said that collaboration with relevant agencies would aid the quest to address the economic and security challenges in the country.

Musa said this on Saturday in Abuja while delivering his address at the 48th Annual National Conference of the Muslim Elders Association of Nigeria.

The Convention had the theme: “Making Living Worthwhile For All: Islamic Solutions to Economic and Security Challenges”.

The association was created to promote peace, foster brotherhood, enhance leadership values, education and humanitarian services.

Represented by Maj. Gen. Shuab Bashir, the CDS Musa further said that security was everybody’s business.

He urged Nigerians to provide the necessary information that would aid security officials’ operations.

”Security is everybody’s business; everyone must be involved. It should not be left to the security agencies alone. People must give us useful information,” he said.

While corroborating the position of the CDS Musa, the representative of the Police Commissioner in the FCT, Mr Uba Alkali, said that effective security required the collective efforts of all citizens.

‘Security is everyone’s responsibility. I urge you all to work with the Police to serve humanity,” he said.(NAN)
