CDS Seeks Public Cooperation On Security

Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has described security as everybody’s business, and urged Nigerians to provide necessary information that would aid security operations.

Musa spoke yesterday in Abuja while delivering an address at the 48th Annual National Conference of the Muslim Elders Association of Nigeria.

The conference 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 further said collaboration with relevant agencies would aid the quest to address the economic and security challenges in the country.

“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.

Supporting the position of the CDS, the representative of the Police Commissioner in the FCT, Mr Uba Alkali, said effective security requires 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)
