Why the war against Boko Haram is facing challenges – Emir of Kano

Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, says the lack of cooperation and inter-agency rivalry between the nation’s security agencies, may hinder the Boko Haram war.

The former Governor of Central Bank, stated on Wednesday, that security agencies must have a synergy, to effectively tackle terrorism.

The Emir revealed this at the second edition of Nigeria Security Exhibition and Conference held in Abuja.

He was represented by an Assistant Inspector General of Police (retd) and the District Head of Albasu Kingdom in Kano State, Bashiru Albashir.

He said: “I spoke about cooperation among security agencies. Police is a physical security, while Civil Defense is also physical security known and seen by everybody.

“But the Department of State Services, DSS, is undercover security.

“There must be opportunity for the two to complement each other. The DSS will get information and depending how relevant the information is, if it is not sent to Police, they should pass it to the army.

“This understanding and cooperation is what will move us forward, not competing among themselves and saying I am superior to you. That will not help us go anywhere.”
