The
Inspector-General of Police, Ag.IGP Ibrahim Idris, NPM, mni
in continuation of his visit to security agencies, on July 19, 2016 paid a
working visit to the Director General, Department of State Services, Abuja.
Speaking in the
office of the Director General, Department of State Security Service, IGP
Ibrahim Idris said the aim of the visit was to seek the cooperation and
collaboration of the Directorate of State Services in tackling the security
challenges facing the country.
He also told
the Director General, that it is only through synergy with relevant security
agencies that the country can overcome the current security challenges, and
therefore said it was necessary for the Nigeria Police under his watch to
initiate this partnership drive, since the constitution of the country vests
the security of lives and property in the Nigeria Police Force.
Responding the
Director General, DSS, Mr. Lawal Musa Daura said he was grateful with the
visit, assuring the Ag.IGP that the Department of State Security Services will
give maximum support and cooperation to the drive of the IGP in ensuring that
the country overcomes the security challenges in the country.
He further said
this cooperation is incumbent on the DSS, because they have historical link
with the Nigeria Police, observing that the country is expecting more from the
IGP, having seen his track record in policing that span within Nigeria and
abroad.
