”They can go to h3ll” Nuhu Ribadu blasts Canada for denying Military officials visa

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser (NSA), has blasted Canada officials for denying visas to top Nigerian military officials, including the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS).

Mallam Ribadu expressed his disapproval at the maiden annual lecture of the National Association of the Institute for Security Studies (AANISS), held at the Shehu Yar’adua Centre, Abuja, on Thursday, Feb. 13th, 2025.

Mallam Ribadu’s comment came after the Chief of Defence Staff disclosed that he and his team were invited to Canada for an event honouring w@r veterans, but he and about half of the delegation were denied visas.

General Musa described the incident as “disrespectful” but emphasized that it serves as a reminder for Nigeria to “do better as a nation” and not be taken for granted.

He said: “Every disappointment is a blessing. Yesterday, I was meant to be in Canada. There’s an event to honour our veterans, those who were !njured during b@ttles, and we were meant to be there. We were invited with our team. Half has gone and half has been denied. It’s very disrespectful.”

Ribadu commended General Musa for speaking out about the incident.

“Thank you for the courage to say Canada denied you visa. They can go to h3ll,” Ribadu said.

The NSA said that despite the disappointment, Nigeria is “peaceful and strong” and must work hard to overcome such challenges.

Ribadu praised Gen. Musa for providing “purposeful leadership” in the w@r against terr0rism, b@nditry, and other security thre@ts in the country.

Mallam Ribadu assured everyone present that the country will be better, and everyone should contribute towards that.
