Elections : Military, Security Agencies Always Under Pressure To Compromise – CDS Irabor
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Abuja – The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor says security agencies and the military constantly come under pressure to compromise during elections through various financial inducements.

He, however, called on Nigerians to continue to trust the military as it strives to maintain neutrality in accordance with the president’s directive.

Speaking on Thursday in Abuja during the Ministerial weekly briefing, the Chief of defense Staff who provided updates of strides made by the Military in the fight against insurgency, terrorism and banditry, stated that personnel are being trained to follow the codified rules of engagement before, during and after the elections.

The CDS further reveals that over 300,000 persons have been freed from the hands of abductors since 2016 while refugees who fled the North East due to insurgency have started to return.

He admitted that there still exits Internal sabotage within the military, but asserted that they have not succeeded.

It is for this reason he debunked a recent allegation by an international news media which accused the military of carrying out over 10,000 illegal abortions on female victims of the war in the North East.

According to him, it is impossible for the military to have been engaged in a planned abortion program since 2013 and as the military commander in charge of Operation Lafia Dole between 2016 and 2017, he never heard of any such thing.

He condemned the report in its entirety, noting that the military is not unaware of extra territorial elements who do not want peace to fester in the country.

The CDS also revisited the alleged Lekki toll gate massacre in 2020, insisting that the Nigerian military is not interested in killing its own people, but rather more concerned in protecting the citizens.

He added that the efforts of the military in the fight against crude oil theft have been yielding positive results with the increase in the crude oil production of 1.6 million barrels per day.
