The Arewa Youth Assembly has opposed calls for the removal of Nigeria’s security chiefs, urging citizens to support ongoing efforts to tackle banditry, terrorism, kidnapping and other violent crimes.

The group expressed confidence in the leadership of the nation’s security agencies, saying public cooperation remains crucial to achieving lasting security across the country.

Aliyu Muhammed, Spokesperson, Arewa Youth Assembly, urged President Bola Tinubu, as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, not to bow to pressures for the dismissal of the service chiefs, insisting that Nigeria’s security architecture should not be turned into a political tool.
