A Cvil Society Organisation (CSO), Close Watch has tasked to ensure collaborations to address contentious issues.
Close Watch made this known while reacting to misunderstanding between the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and some personnel of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in Kaduna.
A statement issued on Sunday by
the National Coordinator, Biodun Odele, said the issue could have been handled without degenerating into a public spate.
It said the present Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar is a strict adherent of ethics who will never tolerate disorderly behavior by his personnel.
The group called on the EFCC to engage the leadership of the NAF at Kaduna and if that failed, they should reach out to the NAF leadership at their headquarters in Abuja, rather than seeking public sympathy even before the matter is being thoroughly investigated.
“EFCC and the NAF are both government institutions with key roles to play in the security architecture of our country, hence should not subject each other to any form of embarrassment.
“The Chief of the Air Staff,
Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar will never condone any disorderly conduct both in private and public of his personnel. He frowns at behaviors which tend not only to embarrass the service but the government as a whole.
“We urge government agencies to work harmoniously especially as the country is passing through security challenges.”
