In an attempt to stop the insecurity that is being posed to Nigeria by the Boko Haram Sect, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, has sought for collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), New York Police Department, United Nations and other United States security agencies.

The Inspector General of Police who has been on a working visit to the United States since last week told Nigeria's officials at the embassy in Washington, DC at a briefing that his meetings with various security agencies in America were aimed at achieving the required support from the international security agencies and other multilateral bodies, particularly in the area of intelligence gathering, intelligence sharing, exchange programmes, combating terrorism, peace-keeping operations and capacity building,
especially on training, manpower and infrastructural development for the Nigeria Police Force.

He said that he believed that insecurity would become a forgotten phase in Nigeria with the new collaboration of the the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), New York Police Department, United Nations and other United States security agencies.

Saying that the security challenges that Nigeria is facing today is applicable to all countries in the world, Abubakar noted that the federal government was doing greatly to ensure that the country becomes very safe for both its citizens and foreigners.

He however urged Nigerian living in the United States to ensure that they come home to join force with the Nigerian government in the government's efforts to make the country a crime-free nation. IG Abubakar pressed further that his working visit and meetings with United States security chiefs had given him a vast
knowledge on how to make Nigeria free in the hands of Boko Haram's terrorists.

He also made it known that all the security
agencies that he met both in New York and
Washington, DC had pledged their supports and collaboration to ensure that Boko Haram and other terrorist group do not have a place to stay in Nigeria.

His words: "My meetings went very well, I sought better ways of collaboration between the US security and the Nigerian security, even the Nigerian government as a whole.
We had meetings that have to do with sharing of intelligence information and support for fighting crimes and criminality in the world particularly terrorism.

On the issue of state police, the Inspector-General said that he was against the idea from the beginning because he was aware that some state governors would surely use the agency, if created, to intimidate their opponents. He added that this would cause more security problems for the country.

On the allegation that some senior police officers want to sell the new police uniforms to junior officers, the police chief said: "You cannot sell any police uniform because there are lots of things surrounding it which i will not even have to disclose because it has security implication on it. So it is not possible for any officer to sell the
new uniform, and if you see anyone selling it, then you have to know that he is selling the fake ones".

On the report that policemen have been
preventing members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) from embarking on protests in some states in Nigeria, IG Abubakar said that there was no way any police could stop people from embarking on any peaceful protest.

I like the bolded. I like the way you broke it down but do we keep our pride @ the expense of the next set of victims even if we could have made use of intelligence reports?

Anyway, I don't think the idea of involving the CIA n FBI is to bring them here physically but to bring some of their technology here.

I think it's only a matter of time before their military bases becomes present in parts of Nigeria.

So, even the over 1trillion naira security vote can't stop them?

Imperialism things...

Some conspiracy theories says the CIA is aiding the BH to destabilize Nigeria, so as to give the USA the path to actualizing their neo-colonialism agenda on the Nigerian soil.

If I'm not mistaken, their intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan etc did not make those places peaceful.

On the other hand, this type of info. is supposed to be classified.
I wonder what they aim to achieve by making this known to the public.

Well, let's watch and see.

CROWÉ: lol. The FBI is basically federal police, last I checked Nigeria is not American soil, FBI cannot operate here.

But their technology can function here.

FBI Ke!? Ds Abu Na Learner o!!

IT'S A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT

I have no idea what you mean by that.

Good move

This is exactly how the west planned the strategy ........

Na who will go call now, ok.... GOD pls deliver Nigeria from Colonialists abeg !!!

All i have to say is MAY GOD ALMIGHTY PUNISH OBASSANJO FOR IMPOSING JONATHAN ON NIGERIANS.

You know. I hate people who blame others for their failures so much. There is 4 times as much oil in the UAE as there is in Nigeria yet the west never sabotaged them for their own gain nor are they keeping them poor and underdeveloped for the purposes of oil theft. Until you stop throwing mindless blame around ad making dumb excuses for your dustbin of a country it will remain a dust bin.

U don't have to hate me nor love me as I aint trying to put Nigeria(n) failures on the door of the west , all I am saying is ''the west doesn't offer help without taking back something clandestinely'' !!!


Nigerian government who are highly confused about ''Just Insurgency'' may never be able to deal with west sophistication ..... !!!



A Nation's security should usually, to the Highest degree be internally determined any other formation otherwise usually affects Sovereignty and the people !!!


When U solve problem with problem then U may have a compounded problem in the future !!!

Oh sh1t!!!!!!
Are you kidding me?

A good gesture but isn't it coming rather late
Anyway, better late than never .

Omg

Hmm

Bokoharams!

I pray make e work

Ok if na dat 1 go put boko haram 2 end no probs

The end is near. The end of Boko Haram or the end of Nigeria, one is near.

hope its work,may God help us.

This is what I call international collabo. that does not change d fact that pdp is boko n boko is pdp. Rip Azazi for daring to speak the truth.

booked

Nigeria should be very careful with who they collaborate with on security issues.Just imagine collaborating with the instigators or sponsors of bokoharam while seeking solution to end the bastards,that will be a disaster.Inasmuch as I know that USA is the worst hit when it comes to terrorism,we just cant throw caution to the wind.We need to tread softly lest we expose ourselves unnecessarily.

CROWÉ: lol. The FBI is basically federal police, last I checked Nigeria is not American soil, FBI cannot operate here.

Thank you.

The IG is probably lying through his teeth.

What collaboration is he talking about? These are issues for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the State Department.

Well, in a backwater country where the President refuses to appoint a Defence Minister and summons the Heads of Army, Airforce and Navy with the token appearance of the SSS DG and sometimes the NSA whenever the latest episode of wanton killings and bloodshed of innocent citizens occurs with all of them smiling afterwards while posing for the camera, until the next summon, anything can happen.
