The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, has said that the military and security agencies are in pursuit of those calling for an undemocratic change of government.
“We are only after those that are against the states, not those that are innocent,” he said.
Musa said this on Tuesday during a combined news conference by the heads of security agencies and Service Chiefs at the Defence Headquarters.
He said the military knew that some protesters calling for regime changes were sponsored, adding that the military and other security agencies were trailing them to bring them to book.
“I want to appreciate Nigerians’ understanding and commitment to upholding law and order.
“We have had issues in the past few days, but you can see that people have seen reason for us not to continue with the destruction, to stop the looting, to stop giving opportunities for others to subvert our nation and to destroy our nation.
“They have also seen reasons to join hands with the security forces to improve Nigeria.
“We want to assure them on this side that we are fully committed to Nigeria, we love the country, and we are mindful of our equipping, so we are duty-bound to protect the country.
