General Christopher Musa emphasizes that despite claims of a 'technical defeat' against Boko Haram, the ongoing insurgency challenges the effectiveness of military operations and highlights the need for a re-evaluation of strategies to combat terrorism and ensure accountability within the armed forces.
Addressing allegations of corruption and human rights abuses within the military, General Musa acknowledges that these issues have significantly impacted troop morale and operational capacity, suggesting that reforms are essential to restore integrity and effectiveness in combating Boko Haram.
The chief of defence staff cautions that external influences, particularly from countries such as Russia, coupled with political instability and coups in the region, complicate Nigeria's security landscape and call for a comprehensive approach to ensure a stable and secure environment.
Through his discussion, General Musa calls out the critical importance of public trust and transparency within the military, stating that addressing internal corruption and prioritizing human rights are vital to not only improve military efficacy but also secure support from the populace.
