Abdurahman Dambazau (rtd), yesterday departed the country for a three-day visit to Cameroon and Chad, taking along with him the Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Mr. Martins Abeshi, the Director General of NEMA, the Solicitor General of the Federation and other top government officials.
He is scheduled to, in the course of the visit, interface with the Interior ministers of Cameroon and Chad so as to strategize on internal security threats, especially those with cross border effects.
This was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the minister’s media aide, Osaigbovo Ehisienmen, who explained that the visit is expected to develop into a robust platform for collaborative action, information sharing and improved border security to check inflow of small arms and light weapons, drugs, illegal migration, human trafficking and movement of terrorists across borders.
