New Chief Of Defence Intelligence Pledges Commitment To Service, Reads Riot Act To Criminals

The new Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI), Major General Emmanuel Undiandeye, on Monday pledged that he would not let the country down in the discharge of his duties in line with the mandate given to him by the President to protect the country from criminal elements.

General Undiandeye also sent strong warning to criminals and those with intentions to plot evil against the country to shelve the idea immediately.

Speaking in Abuja when he formally took over command of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) from the erstwhile CDI, Major General Samuel Adebayo, Undiandeye said there will not be room or excuse for failure under the present President and Commander-in-Chief, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The spy chief said intelligence gathering would be strengthened in such a way that anyone with evil intention, particularly adversaries like bandits, terrorists and other criminals, would not have their way.

He charged officers of the intelligence community to adequately deploy the resources at their disposal to ensure that Nigerians sleep with their eyes closed.

According to him: “Any person that intends any evil and ill for our nation will have himself in the wrong side of the knife,” he warned. “I commend the efforts of my predecessor for his efforts in projecting the agency, he fought for the independence of the agency and I will keep your flag flying.

“To the staff of agency, the intelligence community, we need your support and guidance, correct us where we are getting things wrong so that we can adjust.”

On his part, the erstwhile CDI said he was happy that he was leaving the agency in the hand of a capable officer.

Adebayo said he came to the agency with a set goals, adding that he is leaving as a fulfilled man.

“I am happy that I am leaving the agency in the hand of a competent officer. So, I can go to sleep,” he said.
