Security forces aren’t enemies of state - Defence Minister

Nigeria's Defence Minister, General Christopher Musa (rtd), has asserted that the nation's security forces are not adversaries of the state. He emphasized the importance of public support and cooperation in the government's ongoing efforts to combat insecurity across the country.

General Musa's statement seeks to reframe the public perception of security agencies, encouraging citizens to view them as partners in safeguarding the nation rather than as enemies. This call for collaboration is crucial as Nigeria continues to grapple with various security challenges, including insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping.

The minister urged all Nigerians to actively support and work alongside government initiatives aimed at restoring peace and stability. He believes that a united front, with citizens and security forces working in tandem, is essential for overcoming the complex security issues facing the nation.
