Governor Nasir El-rufai of Kaduna State has praised the partnership between the Department of state services(DSS), other intelligence agencies, and the state government in the fight against banditry.
The alliance resulted in the killing of hundreds of bandits and the destruction of several bandits’ camps, according to him.
El-rufai called for a similar partnership between federal security forces and other northwest states at the first quarter security meeting of northwest state directors of security (SDS) of DSS, which was held at the Kaduna state command.
In the last four years, the governor reported that security coordination had been improved, inter-agency collaboration, the development, and maintenance of a robust intelligence gathering system, and that response times to security incidents had been improved.
