Ribadu Slams Canada For Denying Army Officers’ Visas
The Canadian embassy seems to have ruffled the feathers of Nigeria’s security personnels, after denying Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, and other army chiefs visas.
The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, while Speaking at the maiden annual lecture of the National Association of the Institute for Security Studies (AANISS), in collaboration with the Department of State Service (DSS), said the North American country “can go to hell”.
Ribadu was reacting to comments by the CDS, who narrated how he and other top military officers were billed to be in Canada for an official assignment on Wednesday, but were denied visas.
Musa said the Canada event was about honouring war veterans.
He said the denial was a clear reminder that the country must “stand on its own, stand strong as a nation and should no longer be taken for granted”.
According to him, every disappointment is a blessing.
Ribadu also praised the CDS for providing purposeful leadership in the war against insecurity.
He noted that all security agencies were collaborating across many parts of the country.
