The Inspector-General of Police, Ag.IGP Ibrahim Idris 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.
