Global Peace Movement International, UK has called on community leaders to support security agencies in the fight against bandits and other criminal elements in the country.
President General of GPMI, Dr. Mike Uyi made the call in a press statement on Tuesday in London.
According to him, security agencies are the most patriotic crop of citizens whose agenda supersedes the parochial, partisan and clannish motivations of politicians addicted to the acrimonious scramble for power.
The Department of State Security Services (DSS) under the transparent leadership of Malam Yusuf Magaji Bichi has assiduously amplified her distinctive capability in our nation’s security architecture through innovative strategies and programmes.
GPMI commended the leadership of the Department of State Services for introducing Zonal Quarterly Conference of State Directors of Security (SDES) to identify contemporary security threats confronting the regions and proffer counter – measures .
Uyi further lauded the DSS Director-General for convoking one day brainstorming session for prominent civil society groups in Nigeria with the theme ”Civil Society and National Security in Nigeria.”
“GPMI is open and ready to assist the DSS in discharging its duties of intelligence gathering as our members are in the 36 states of the federation and members across 25 countries of the world”
“We call on stake holders in the security sector to rally round the DSS and give them all form of support they need because they are the primary agency of security who send signals to other sister security agencies”.
GPMI also commended Dr. Peter Afunaya for his professionalism.
