Delay in Criminal Justice Affecting Military Operations – Gen. Musa, CDS

The Chief of Defense Staff (CDS), Major General Christopher Gwabin Musa, yesterday said the administrative bottlenecks in administering criminal justice within civil authorities for prosecution hindered military operations in combating insecurity.

General Musa disclosed this when he received the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Uba Sani, on a courtesy visit to the Defense Headquarters in Abuja.

The CDS noted that the Armed Forces of Nigeria is looking at reviewing its operational modalities with the view to enhancing capabilities for a better result, adding that kinetic and non-kinetic approaches in operations will be strengthened to boost the fight against criminality in the country.

Gen. Musa also stressed the need for youth engagement in meaningful activities in order to reduce crime while urging the media to always promote love and unity in their reports.

Responding, the Governor commended the Armed Forces for their immense support to the state while calling for more support to boost security in Kaduna and its environs.

Governor Sani noted that Kaduna state, the heart of Northern Nigeria, needs relative peace and harmony to strive.

He added that the state is willing to support the AFN with local intelligence and any other necessary assistance to enable the military to discharge its constitutional responsibilities unhindered.
