The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, on Thursday, called on the Department of State Services to unveil the persons sponsoring or influencing insecurity in the country.

He challenged the secret police to do its job without minding the social status of the culprits.

Yusuf spoke at the 14th Quarterly Conference of the State Directors of Security, North-West geo-political zone.

The programme held in Kano.

The governor said, “I challenge you to use intelligence data gathering to locate the whereabouts of those perpetrating the crimes. Are they politicians, traditional leaders, religious or business community? Do more to unravel those sponsoring and conducting attacks on innocent lives for the country to be peaceful.”

The DSS Director in Kano, Alhassan Muhammad, said the conference was intended to, among other things, facilitate operational and intelligence-sharing synergy among state SSS Directors across the geo-political zones in the country.

“It therefore serves as a platform for them to come together to exchange knowledge, share insights, and explore innovative solutions to addressing the myriad of security challenges prevalent in the zone.

“In today’s rapidly evolving world, security concerns have become increasingly complex and multifaceted, from cybersecurity threats to physical security challenges, from terrorism to armed banditry, from farmers/herders’ clashes to youth restiveness, environmental tensions, intra/inter political party disputes.

“The security landscape is constantly evolving, presenting new and unprecedented challenges to security agencies, the executive, legislators, judiciary and societies across the country.” (The PUNCH)
