 State directors of security in the Department of State Services, DSS and the Northwest Zone have on Wednesday at their quarterly meeting expressed worry over the increasing rate of insecurity in the region. Seeking to find a lasting solution to it, the Kaduna State Governor Nassir Erufei, who was represented at the event by the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Arouan said, insecurity in the zone was disturbing, but unsurmountable throughout, though concerted collaborations amongst stakeholders have been put together. Kathu Roslin, farmers' headers conflicts, arms trafficking and communal crisis. This acts of criminality course across the states of the Northwest, hence the justification for the intelligence sharing within the zone has improved tremendously, and by extension its dissemination to end users, majorly sister agencies and the host state government. Here in Kaduna State, especially over the last 18 months, we welcome the intensification of ground and air action against the bandits and terrorists. Hundreds of bandits have been neutralized and numerous camps destroyed. We acknowledge with appreciation that these achievements were enlarged as a result of the close collaboration and cooperation built among security agencies, of which the DSS is playing a significant role, providing actionable intelligence. It is very necessary for the security agencies to intensify their collaborations and partnerships so that solutions will be brought. And I want us to collaborate more so that we can achieve our goals. Our goals is the same. We have no reason that we don't cooperate, because unless and until we cooperate we can never achieve our goals. Personally, I can say it's terrific because almost all the time we receive intelligence reports on what is happening around us and we take strategic steps to address such issues. And equally, the military and police, what they've been doing in this state to address this challenge that we have been having because of the banditry especially and other related offenses. It is my wish from the judiciary that solutions at the end of the conference will be found and I promise that we will continue to do our job in the judiciary such that we address all the issues of security in Kaduna state.
