AIG seeks partnership with journalists

ASSISTANT Inspector-General of Police (AIG) incharge of Zone 1, Kano, Alhaji Ibrahim Adamu, has noted that seeking collaboration with the media by the police would be a major catalyst in building peace and achieving progress in an ideal democratic dispensation.
Addressing the executive members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kano State Council, during a courtesy visit at the NUJ press centre in Kano recently, Adamu said the media was an indispensable organ of progress that could be relied upon in building peace and achieving progress.
He said he was at the NUJ Secretariat to solicit the support and cooperation of the press in lending credence to the issue of providing security in his areas of jurisdiction, stressing that seeking such collaboration had become imperative in view of the prevailing security challenges.
On the persistent cases of Yandaba, which had rocked Kano in the past, the police has said courtesy of police’s relentless operations, the spate of such dastardly acts had drastically reduced.
In his remarks, the Chairman, NUJ Kano State Council, Comrade Abdulgalal Haruna said the visit had afforded both parties the opportunity to understand each other and that seeking such collaboration would be a good omen to the entrenchment of peace and ensuring peace.
He charged him to rise to the challenge of fighting crimes within his areas of jurisdiction.
