 Don’t make excuses, end banditry-Former COAS, TY Danjuma tasks CDS Musa


An erstwhile Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Gen Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, has tasked the Chief of Defense Staff, CDS, Gen Christopher Musa, to end banditry and killings as soon as possible.


Danjuma gave the charge on Tuesday in Abuja during the presentation of a book titled, ‘Big Boots: Lessons From My Military Service’, authored by Maj Gen Solomon Udounwa (retd).


While addressing serving and retired military top brass including the current defence chief seated at the event, the octogenarian said the onus rests on serving officers to end the menace of banditry and senseless killings by marauders all over the country.


“We must end the banditry and the killings that are going on in our country as soon as possible.


“The responsibilities are on your shoulders; those of you who are still servicing. No excuses, absolutely no excuses. God bless you. God bless our country,” he said.

Responding, CDS Musa said the Armed Forces won’t be deterred by the challenges confronting them in the fight against banditry and terrorism.


He assured Gen TY Danjuma that the military won’t fail but bring the blood-sucking mongers called bandits to their knees.


“The Armed Forces of Nigeria is willing, dedicated and committed to ensuring that we restore peace and security in our own dear country.


“We shall not be deterred. I want to assure you that we have learned so much from your records. We cannot afford to fail and we will not fail,” Gen Musa told TY Danjuma.

The North-West and North Central geopolitical zones of the country have been a hotbed of dark-hearted marauders known colloquially as bandits.
