NSCDC, army renew synergy to tackle bandits in Katsina
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Nigeria Army have strengthened their partnership to combat insecurity in Katsina.
Aminu Datti, NSCDC commandant in Katsina, said this on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the 17 Brigade, Nigeria Army, in Katsina.
The commandant, who said the visit was necessitated by the need to cement the already existing relationship between the two agencies, called for continuous cooperation and synergy.
“With the current trend of insecurity in the state, there should be strong collaboration among all security agencies to secure the state and the country as a whole,” Mr Datti stated.
He noted the commitment and leadership vision of the NSCDC commandant general, Ahmed Abubakar-Audi, to foster collaboration among security agencies as one of the best strategies to combat crime.
According to the NSCDC commandant, sharing credible intelligence, joint operations, and training will improve with better collaboration among the two agencies.
The brigade commander, Babatunde Omopariola, commended NSCDC’s commitment to protecting critical national assets and infrastructure.
Mr Omopariola, who commended the harmonious working relationship between the agencies in different operations, pledged the continuous cooperation and collaboration of the agencies.
