Military, Others Always Under Pressure to Compromise Elections — Defence Chief

Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, has affirmed that security agencies are always under pressure to compromise elections but has called on Nigerians to put their trust in them as they remain totally committed to maintaining neutrality.

Appearing on the Ministerial Media Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Presidential Villa Abuja, he said security personnel come under pressure through inducements, noting that necessary measures are being put in place to ensure that they obey the Presidential directive to maintain Neutrality.

He added that personnel are being trained to be more professional while rules of engagement before, during and after the elections have been codified and distributed to them.
