The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, on Friday called on Nigerians to join in the fight against insecurity as the military could not do it alone.
Mr Musa made the call at his maiden interaction with newsmen in Abuja.
“The security challenge we are facing is not only a military challenge; it is for everybody.
“That is why it is important for us to have a good understanding of what is going on so that we can clearly sensitise the public,’’ he said.
He said cooperation and support for the military and all other security agencies was critical to their successes or failures in the war against insecurity.
“I appeal that when you see something not going right, please report; even if it is our troops that are not doing the right thing, don’t just keep quiet and pass by.
“This is because whatever you see and pass by, you have approved of it.
“If you want changes, report so that we can take action and we want to take action,’’ Musa assured.
He noted that terrorism was always difficult to fight because it was ideology-based, but criminality had been added resulting from pressure exerted on terrorists by the military in the Northeast.
