"Security agencies alone can hardly succeed without the support of members of the traditional institution. It is in recognition of this fact that I have come to seek the usual support of His Highness and members of your council", Miebi explained.

In a statement signed by DSC Orndiir Terzungwe, CPRO on behalf of the State Commandant, he maintained; "We are contributing our quota in synergy with other sister agencies to ensure that the challenge of insecurity bedeviling the state is drastically reduced".

Responding, the Emir expressed his pleasure on the performance of the corps with other services most especially in his domain in spite of challenges of inadequate manpower and equipment.

The Royal father decried the rising incidences of banditry, describing the murder of a pregnant woman Zaria recently as worrisome.

He said the country is passing through a difficult period, noting with optimism that the problem is however not peculiar to Nigeria alone, but global in nature, stating that with concerted efforts of all stakeholders, it would be overcomed.

He stressed the need for synergy and collaboration among security agencies and warned against rivalry.
