CCS Calls for Fair Security Reporting, Rejects Ethnic Double Standards

The Centre for Contemporary Studies in Abuja has urged media and security analysts to report criminal acts objectively. It warned that judging crimes by the ethnicity or religion of suspects undermines Nigeria’s fight against crime. In a recent statement, the Centre backed calls for fact-based coverage, highlighting controversy over the attempted assault on the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies. It said selective outrage weakens national security and shields offenders. The organisation praised security personnel for repelling the attack and reaffirmed that no community holds a monopoly on victimhood or criminality. It called on journalists, civil society, and community leaders to uphold equal justice under the law. “There must be no sacred cows in the fight against insecurity,” the statement concluded, stressing that justice must remain blind to ethnicity, religion, and politics.
