Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu has urged North-West states to collaborate more effectively in combating insecurity. Disu addressed the North-West Security Summit in Gusau, Zamfara State, calling for improved intelligence sharing and joint security operations. The summit gathered government officials, security chiefs, and other stakeholders to tackle banditry, kidnapping, arms smuggling, ethnic conflicts, and farmer-herder disputes in the region.
Disu emphasized that no single agency can resolve these issues independently and stressed the need for enhanced inter-state cooperation, better border security, and community engagement. He also highlighted the importance of traditional institutions and local communities in providing valuable intelligence. Disu urged security personnel to avoid stereotyping individuals based on ethnicity or religion, focusing instead on disrupting criminal networks and prosecuting their sponsors and facilitators.
The police chief reaffirmed the commitment of Nigeria's police force to a data-driven approach, advanced technology, and swift, coordinated responses. Disu stressed that the summit's outcomes must be practical, measurable, and capable of improving security and safeguarding vulnerable communities throughout the North-West.
