The Chief of Defence Staff(CDS) General Lucky Irabor has stated that security agencies are constantly under pressure to compromise elections.
Irabor, who appeared on the weekly edition of the Ministerial Briefing organised by the Presidential Communication Team at the Presidential Villa Abuja, however, assured Nigerians that the Armed Forces will not betray the public trust but remain neutral.
According to him, security operatives come under pressure through inducements, noting that necessary measures are being put in place to ensure that they obey President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive to maintain neutrality.
He said operatives are being trained to be more professional while rules of engagement before, during and after the elections have been codified and distributed to them.
