Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has said his administration is already collaborating with neighbouring states and the Republic of Cameroon to form a common front where security issues bothering the states would be brought to an end.
The governor who made the announcement on Tuesday while playing host to the Commander of the Army Operation Whirl Stroke, General L.G Laptang, in Jalingo, also denounced the agitations for state police. Kicking against the establishment of state police in any part of the country, Agbu insisted that the already existing security structure is capable of addressing the security challenges currently confronting the nation.
'After serving in the Nigerian army for some years, I know what the military and other security agencies of Nigeria are capable of doing for national security.' Highlighting how his administration has been making ways to collaborate with governors of the neighbouring states and a governor in Cameroon, to surmount the security challenges confronting the state, he said proper collaboration would make insecurity a thing of the past.
