The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Christopher Musa, during an interview with a Daily Trust correspondent, spoke over the rising spate of insecurity in Nigeria, oil theft in the southern region and security agencies’ efforts to contain it.
When he was told that there have been accusations that some soldiers, whether of the Navy or Army, are involved in securing some of the crude oil thieves in the country, Gen Christopher Musa said that no individual or institution is totally clean.
He said, ”
Well, I cannot tell you 100 per cent that it is not true. We are human beings.
No individual or institution is 100 per cent clean, but I have told you that anyone we catch won’t go free.”
Further talking, he said, “We have also encouraged other security agencies. The State Security Service (SSS) is doing a wonderful job, as well as the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). Once they get those things, and give us, we pick them up quickly.”
