Citizens Must Fight Against Those Threatening Nigeria’s Sovereignty – Arase
Chairman of the Police Service Commission, IG Solomon Arase (retd.) has charged Nigerians to collectively fight against elements threatening the sovereignty of the Nigerian State.
Arase made this known in Abuja at the International Symposium on Countering Organized Crimes in Africa, themed, ‘Drug Crimes, Terrorism, Arms Trafficking, Marine Crimes, Environmental Crime and Auto Theft,’ which was organised by the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Integrity Watch.
The spokesperson for the PSC, Ikechukwu Ani made the development known in a statement on Sunday.
Ani quoted Arase as saying, “As a people, we must rise and stand firm against those who threaten the sovereign integrity of the Nigerian State, as no security agency can deliver on its mandate without the support of the people,”
He further promised that the PSC under his watch shall collaborate with other agencies of government to fight organized crimes in Nigeria.
“Our will, therefore must be strong because our faith lies in the indivisibility of Nigeria. it has become not only a statutory mandate but a moral imperative to re-enact our old fighting force, re-strategize and redesign our tactics, and promptly arrest and contain the growing insecurity challenge in our country
“Mankind must put an end to organised crime or organized crime will put an end to mankind” and on the ” keyboard of life, let us as a nation always keep a finger on the escape key to survive,” he added.
