In a bid to strengthen the fight against armed robbery, banditry, terrorism bedevilling the nation, the Kogi State Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), Suleiman Ibrahim Mafara has admonished security agencies to shun unnecessary rivalry for the interest of the country’s development.
Mafara made the appeal on Thursday when the new Kogi Sector Commander, Federal Roads Safety Corp (FRSC), Stephen Dalong paid him a courtesy visit in his office.
Mafara said the appeal became necessary as the fight against insecurity cannot be won when security operatives are at loggerhead against each other.
According to him, when there is robust relationship and synergy among security agencies, it causes panic among criminal elements who intend to cause havoc or dis-stabilize the peace of the country.
Mafara explained that the command has continued to synegize with sister security agencies to checkmate the activities of criminals adding that, through robust relationship, many criminals have relocated from Kogi State.
“It is high time all security operatives should shun unnecessary rivalry for the interest of our country Nigeria. We are all one and are determined towards a crime free society.
“If criminals can identify all security operative as same and one, it causes confusion among them as an injury to one will be an injury to all. Our focus as one body should be on nation building and development and not unnecessary rivalry that will negate the call our father land,” he said.
Earlier, the Kogi State Sector Commander of FRSC, Stephen Dalong in his remarks emphasized the need for a workable data for motorists, adding that, this will help to check the inflow of people and curb insecurity in Kogi State.
