The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Nigeria Police Force have agreed to work together to combat insecurity in Kwara State.
The partnership was announced during a visit by the new Commissioner of Police, CP Adeyemi Ojo, to the NSCDC State Command headquarters in Ilorin.
NSCDC State Commandant, Dr Umar Mohammed, said the collaboration comes at a crucial time when unity among security agencies is vital to curb the growing rate of crime in the state
“No single agency can address the current security realities alone. We must build a united front, share intelligence and execute joint strategies to restore safety and stability across the state,” he stated
Ojo commended the NSCDC for its proactive stance and affirmed the command’s readiness to part with the corps.
He said that it was necessary to eliminate inter-agency rivalry, particularly among junior personnel, to foster a culture of collaboration, mutual respect and cooperation.
