THE DELTA STATE GOVERNMENT HAS CALLED FOR STRONGER COLLABORATION, INTELLIGENCE SHARING AND COORDINATION AMONG SECURITY AGENCIES AND NON-STATE ACTORS TO TACKLE THE NATION’S SECURITY CHALLENGES.
THE SECRETARY TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT, DR. KINGSLEY EMU, MADE THE CALL WHILE RECEIVING PARTICIPANTS OF THE ADVANCED DEFENCE INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS COURSE 16, 2026, OF THE DEFENCE INTELLIGENCE COLLEGE, KARU, ABUJA, ON A STUDY TOUR OF DELTA STATE.
EMU STRESSED THAT NO SINGLE SECURITY AGENCY COULD EFFECTIVELY COMBAT INSECURITY ALONE, URGING SEAMLESS COOPERATION AMONG AGENCIES AND STATES TO PREVENT CRIMINALS FROM EXPLOITING TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES.
HE SAID DELTA HAD STRENGTHENED ITS COMMUNITY-BASED SECURITY ARCHITECTURE THROUGH THE ENGAGEMENT OF FOREST GUARDS AND VIGILANTE GROUPS, WHOSE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERRAIN WAS CRUCIAL TO FIGHTING CRIME.
THE SSG ALSO NOTED THAT THE GOVERNMENT’S RECLAMATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF ABANDONED FORESTS INTO PRODUCTIVE ECONOMIC SPACES WAS PART OF EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE CRIMINAL HIDEOUTS AND ENHANCE SECURITY ACROSS THE STATE.
