The Department of State Security Services has cautioned Nigerians to stop blaming security agencies over the spate of insecurity in the country.
Director-General of the DSS, Yusuf Bichi disclosed this at the 2020 Security and Emergency Awards (SAEMA), which took place in Abuja over the weekend.
Bichi, noted that the support of citizens by providing the needed and useful information to security agencies is critical in ensuring that the nation is well and truly secured.
“All those bad people are part of our communities; they live in our neighbourhoods. If you know one, tell the security agencies about him. If you have not done all these, it’s time for us to have a rethink; it’s time for us to have a change of mind to rededicate ourselves to the ideals of building a country that is devoid of any insecurity,” he said.
He called on Nigerians to support security agencies and the government by providing useful information to them as security is not for government and it’s agencies alone.
