Faruk Yahaya, chief of army staff (COAS), says it is not
easy to tackle security challenges in the country.
Yahaya spoke on Sunday while inaugurating some facilities at
the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Nigerian Army, Minna, Niger state.
The army chief said there is a need for citizens to
volunteer useful information to security agencies to help them tackle insecurity.
Yahaya also asked soldiers to be resolute in dealing with criminal elements and ensure that their weapons are recovered.
“I am here in Minna
today as part of my operational visits across the country to ginger our
soldiers for the good job they are doing,” NAN quoted Yahaya as saying.
“I urge them to continue and to be more resolute and
decisive in dealing with the criminals.
“When we engage criminals such as bandits and kidnappers, we
are not looking for prisoners of war but to kill them and take their weapons.
“That is what we will
continue to do until we stamp them out.
“The essence of the visit is to interact with the soldiers
and identify some areas of concern, address them and ginger the officers and
soldiers to do more.
“We are addressing security challenges in collaboration with
other security agencies and stakeholders. It is not easy to tackle security
challenges but I must tell you that we are doing our best.
“There is the need for the public to give accurate and
useful information to the security agencies to tackle insecurity.
“If we take security as
everybody’s business, we will have more synergy and improve on what we are
doing.”
