Armed forces must protect, not harm, innocent Nigerians – General Musa
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has directed personnel of the Nigerian Armed Forces to prioritize the protection of innocent citizens, emphasizing that no harm should come to them under any circumstances.
General Musa issued the directive during an official visit to the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna State on Friday, where he also inaugurated several completed projects aimed at improving cadet welfare and training facilities.
“We must understand that the Armed Forces of Nigeria is for Nigeria and for Nigerians. Our duty is to protect Nigeria, to protect our sovereignty whether within or outside, it is not to harm innocent people, that we must understand,” he stated.
Addressing cadets specifically, he added, “As you grow in the system, understand this clearly: our duty is to protect and defend our country.”
The CDS also urged officers and cadets to adapt to the evolving nature of warfare, particularly with the integration of artificial intelligence in combating insecurity. He warned that the era of officers neglecting their duties for personal gain is over and will no longer be tolerated.
He reminded the personnel of the significant responsibilities ahead, stressing the importance of preparing to defend the nation against all threats. General Musa further cautioned that there would be no preferential treatment for any officer, as junior commanders would be posted to challenging terrains to safeguard the country and its citizens.
The NDA Commandant, Major General John Ochai, also underscored the importance of leveraging information technology to address contemporary security challenges such as terrorism and banditry.
Highlighting the role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in modern warfare, he detailed the academy’s efforts to incorporate ICT into its training programs to better equip cadets for emerging threats.
During the visit, the CDS, accompanied by Major General Ochai, other senior military officers, and their spouses, inaugurated several projects.
These include the NDA Emergency and Trauma Centre, an operational and basic military training complex, among others.
