The key to completely win the war against banditry, insurgency and other crimes threatening national security, is the effective and efficient collaboration between all security agencies.
The Deputy Chief of Defence Intelligence, DCDI, Major General Gbolahan Oyefesobi, who said this at the Nigerian Army Super Camp 4 in Faskari, Katsina State, said the successes recorded so far against banditry in the Northwest is as a result of the conception and activation of the camp.
With about a month to the completion of Operation Sahel Sanity in the Northwest and parts of the North Central Region aimed at tackling the activities of bandits, cattle rustlers, kidnappers, and other criminal elements, different personalities have continued to review the activities of the operation.
Speaking while on an assessment tour to the camp, the Deputy Chief of Defence Intelligence attributed the successes to the effective collaboration by the Nigerian Army with its sister security agencies, which were lacking in the past.He called for it to be strengthened.
He hinted that peace and security of the nation are non-negotiable even as he called on the locals to continue availing security agencies timely and actionable information to strengthen the intelligence network against all forms of insecurity faced by the nation.
Major General Oyefesobi, therefore, assured Nigerians that the military would continue to be ruthless and deal decisively with the bandits and win the confidence of the people, thereby bringing about a peaceful and secured country.
