Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, says food crisis
looms in Nigeria due to spate insecurity across states.
El-Rufai lamented that farmers cannot go to their farms,
while some have fled their villages to avoid attacks by criminals.
He spoke on Thursday at the 2021 second quarter meeting of
Directors of the Department of State Services (DSS) in North-West states.
The governor told the officers that tackling security challenges requires intelligence-sharing and cooperation of all agencies.
The Kaduna helmsman warned that addressing insecurity in one
state will push outlaws to others.
El-Rufai said relevant organs must not only establish the
identities, plans and locations of criminals, but disrupt their capacity to
organise and hit citizens.
“It is also very important to ensure that prompt and
coordinated action becomes the default response of the Armed Forces and the
Police to the profusion of actionable intelligence that is already available.”
El-Rufai observed gangs have become more daring and
dangerous since recovering from their near defeat in 2015.
He stressed that the DSS’ vital role was to make information
available to the Police and Armed Forces “for the total defeat of these
dangerous insurgents”.
