Chief of Defence Staff, Irabor, pledged the support of the military for any measures capable of tackling tackle the general insecurity in the land,
CDS however, appealed to the media to be more responsible in their reportage of security issues.
He said the narratives found within the media were misleading, adding that the reportage on insecurity causes fear among the people.
He added: “The narratives that you find within the media space are misleading. I will rather that the media begin to tone down the hype that they give to issues that have to do with insecurity.
The reason is this: it starts stoking fear amongst the people. There’s some sense of confusion that is also introduced such that it would appear that everyone is no longer focused and thinking right to be able to understand what needs to be done at a particular point in time.
“I would rather urge the media to understand that a failed nation is actually not also good for the business of the media. And it’s only when you have a better understanding of the impacts that one is able to make progress.
“We desire to live in an environment where peace and security prevail.”
