Southern Kaduna people based in the United States have called on the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Christopher Musa, to secure Nigerians against further terror attacks.
Congratulating the new CDS on his appointment, the group in a letter signed by its president, Freeman Kamuru, expressed joy at his appointment and his readiness to tackle terror being unleashed on the country by criminal groups.
“News of your nomination was received with great joy and excitement by many people and communities within and outside Nigeria. Your confirmation has completed our joy with great anticipation and prayers for your success in leading the Nigerian military in the renewed effort to successfully address the security challenges facing the country,” the group said.
Expressing confidence in his ability to lead the charge against insecurity that is almost shredding the country, the group added: “We are confident that based on your professional competence and loyalty to Nigeria, you will leave no stone unturned to ensure that our nation is safe and free from terror attacks.”
They urged the CDS to ensure that every part of Nigeria is secured henceforth, even as they recalled that Southern Kaduna received little or no protection from security forces and no relief materials for the thousands of displaced persons from the state or federal government.
“It is our hope and prayers that your tenure will mark the beginning of restoration of peace and tranquility in all parts of Nigeria, including Southern Kaduna that appears to have borne the brunt of the heinous acts of terrorism meted by undesirable elements in society with twisted minds and bigotry,” they added.
