Stop glorifying terrorists, support troops to end insecurity, army commander urges Nigerians
The Commander, Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Godwin Mutkut, has called on Nigerians to stop glorifying terrorists and instead rally behind troops in the collective effort to end terrorism, insurgency and other security threats confronting the nation.
Mutkut who disclosed this while interacting with defence correspondents in Kaduna said that while constructive criticism was necessary in any democracy, persistent attacks on the military and the promotion of terrorist propaganda on social media and other platforms were counterproductive and capable of undermining national security efforts.
The senior military officer made the appeal while speaking on the sacrifices of troops and the role of citizens in supporting ongoing military operations across the country.
According to him, members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria continue to make enormous sacrifices daily in defence of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, often at great personal cost.
He noted that infantry soldiers, in particular, bear the brunt of combat operations as they are usually the troops that confront terrorists directly on the battlefield.
“We are the main force that sees the enemy eyeball to eyeball. When people talk about casualties, most times they are referring to infantry soldiers because they are at the forefront of combat operations.
“However, every soldier in the Nigerian Army contributes to the fight. Whether in communications, artillery, armour, intelligence, logistics or any other corps, everyone wears the same uniform and remains a combatant in defence of the nation,” he said.
Mutkut explained that the Nigerian Army was structured into various specialised corps to enhance operational effectiveness, but stressed that all personnel remained united by a common mission of protecting Nigeria and its citizens.
Reflecting on the country’s prolonged security challenges, the infantry commander acknowledged that the fight against terrorism had been difficult and costly, but insisted that troops remained determined and committed to restoring peace.
“Nigeria has lived with insecurity for a long time. It has not been easy, but our soldiers remain steadfast and resolute in carrying out their constitutional responsibility.
“The message I have for Nigerians is simple: support your soldiers. Assist them in this fight. We cannot win this battle through military action alone; we need the support, understanding and cooperation of citizens,” he said.
Mutkut expressed concern over what he described as the growing tendency among some Nigerians to criticise soldiers from the comfort of their homes without appreciating the realities and sacrifices associated with military service.
According to him, such actions can have adverse consequences for troop morale and may inadvertently embolden terrorists.
“Many people sit in the comfort of their rooms and criticise soldiers who are risking their lives daily to protect communities and defend the country.
“That is unfair because these troops are making sacrifices that many Nigerians may never fully understand.
“When people constantly attack the military without understanding the realities on the ground, it can send the wrong signal and inadvertently encourage those who seek to destabilise the country,” he said.
The commander urged Nigerians to redirect their anger and condemnation towards terrorists and criminal elements rather than the security forces confronting them.

COMMODORE JAMILA ABUBAKAR SADIQ MALAFA
THE TRAILBLAZER WHO CHANGED HISTORY
Some officers break records. Others break barriers. Commodore Jamila Abubakar Sadiq Malafa did both.
Born in 1965 in Whona Village, Gombi Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Commodore Malafa's remarkable journey from a humble northern community to the highest levels of military leadership remains one of the most inspiring stories in the history of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
An international maritime lawyer, accomplished naval officer, and distinguished leader, she made history as the first woman from Northern Nigeria to attain the rank of Commodore in the Nigerian Navy, proving that determination, education, and hard work can overcome even the toughest obstacles.
Her educational journey began at St. Theresa School, Luggere, before proceeding to Government Secondary School, Hong, and later the School of Nursing in Yola, where she qualified as a nurse and midwife. Fate, however, had a different path in store. While awaiting admission for further medical studies, she applied for recruitment into the Nigerian Navy and was selected in 1988 as the only female recruit from Northern Nigeria in her intake.
Commissioned as a Midshipman in 1990, she embarked on a distinguished naval career marked by excellence and continuous self-improvement. Refusing to allow military service limit her academic ambitions, she pursued a degree in Law at the University of Lagos, overcoming initial setbacks through sheer perseverance. She later earned a Master's Degree in Constitutional and Criminal Law and subsequently obtained a Master's Degree in International Maritime Law from the prestigious International Maritime Law Institute in Malta.
Her expertise in maritime and international law earned her several strategic appointments within the Nigerian Navy, including Deputy Director of Civil-Military Relations (Law Support) and Director of Legal Services at Naval Headquarters, Abuja. Through these roles, she contributed significantly to the development of legal frameworks supporting Nigeria's maritime security and Naval operations.
History was made in December 2017 when she was decorated with the rank of Commodore in a ceremony attended by senior government and military officials. Her promotion was celebrated across Nigeria as a landmark achievement for women in uniform and a major milestone for Northern Nigeria.
Beyond her Military duties, Commodore Malafa has remained a passionate advocate for female education and empowerment. She has travelled across Northern Nigeria encouraging young girls to pursue careers in the military, law, and other professions traditionally dominated by men. Through mentorship, advocacy, and public engagement, she continues to inspire a new generation of female leaders.
Respected for her intellect, professionalism, discipline, and leadership, Commodore Jamila Malafa represents the very best of the Nigerian Navy.
From Whona Village to the rank of Commodore, her story is a powerful reminder that no dream is too big and no barrier is insurmountable.
Let us celebrate this exceptional officer, scholar, and trailblazer whose legacy continues to inspire countless young Nigerians, especially women, to aim higher and serve with excellence.
