The new insurgents have already started attacking communities by giving them all kinds of nightmares and collecting levies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have had enough of insurgents we are battling with, so for them to have come in from neighbour countries like Niger Republic into the borders of Sokoto and Kebbi, I think we need to do a lot of restructuring of the security architecture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a governor, I always meet with the security committee and I directed all the local government to meet on the last Thursday of every month. The state security committee, the local government security will meet and report back whatever they have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf government will initiate a proper community intelligence gathering there will be peace.We did in Kano and the people trust this arrangement far more, the traditional institution was greatly involved and we empowered them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the major things to do is to improve the nature of intelligence gathering. The number of police, Army, and military is not enough for them to be all over the place. Through intelligence gathering you will be able to identify informants who are working with insurgents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we want to address this issue, the government (Federal and State) must work together to improve intelligence gathering through community watch and policing. Up till now, we have not been able to produce some of these things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
