President Jonathan has directed the military to immediately redeploy the moles in the military betraying the nation in the current war against insurgency.
Speaking at the commissioning of the new National Cenotaph at the military cemetery on Wednesday in Abuja as part of activities to mark the 2015 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, Jonathan said: “It is the situation in all sectors of government all over the world, so it is the duty of the officers to detect those who are working against and those who are committed to the country early enough.
“The officers must be smart to quickly detect those who will betray others, a betrayal that may lead to massive death of officers when they are in operations.”
He noted that it is not uncommon for a traitor to exist among a group, but it is the responsibility of the leadership to fish out those whose evidence against them that they are culpable is incontrovertible.
“I am not saying there are no bad eggs among us, there are definitely a few cases where some people exhibit behaviour that is at variance with the norm, and it is not expected of them to do so. If we are able to filter among ourselves and we are able to identify such people, they may be deployed to other places.
According to him, if any soldier is suspected to have this kind of inclination, the best thing is to redeploy that person away from the position to postings where he will not be an enemy to the state and his colleagues.
In his remarks, Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, said the event marked the erection of a commemorative monument that serves “as a symbol of the deep gratitude of the Federal Government and the people of Nigeria and the armed forces of Nigeria in particular for the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform.”
