The workshop is part of activities to mark the 2020 exercise ‘Crocodile Smile Six’ in the one division of the Nigerian Army area of responsibility.Major General Mohammed said given the current security situation in the country, no single agency can tackle it alone, without collaboration.

The exercise according to the GOC 1 Division Nigerian Army, has evolved into an effective tool of confronting the increasing level of criminality and violence, that have characterized the concluding part of each year, hence the need to re-examine strategies in tackling them.

While stressing on the need for team work in tackling security challenges, the Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, identified the politicisation of security issues, and inter-agency rivalry, as factors militating against the success, in the fight against criminality.
