The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has appealed to Nigerians to support security men by providing useful information to aid their job.
He commended President Bola Tinubu’s readiness to address insecurity in Nigeria through the appointment of ‘capable and dedicated individuals’ as Service Chiefs.
In a statement by his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, Wednesday, the monarch described the synergy, understanding, and collaboration among the current service chiefs as unprecedented which he said has significantly improved the security architecture of Nigeria.
Oluwo expressed optimism in the synergy and leadership style of the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, Chief, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Air Staff, and other sister security agencies mostly the Inspector General of Police.
He said the unprecedented inter-agency collaboration has aided the intelligence gathering and information dissemination which are hallmarks of effective policing, saying that insecurity would be reduced to the minimum in the coming months.
“Nigeria’s security architecture has significantly improved as manifested in the decimation of terrorism and banditry. This was not unconnected with the appointment of capable hands as security chiefs.
“The synergy and inter-agency collaboration among them mostly especially in intelligence gathering and information dissemination have contributed immensely in checkmating insecurity.
“I called on Nigerians to support the security men in intelligence gathering by giving useful information that could be helpful to tame terrorists, bandits, and criminals. He called on the government to work more on the welfare package of security men,” Oluwo said.
