The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3 Division and Commander Operation SAFE HAVEN, Major General Folusho Oyinlola, has called for the critical need for enhanced inter-agency cooperation in the fight against insecurity.

Major General Oyinlola made this call during a series of courtesy visits to security agencies in Plateau State.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Danja, Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 3 Division Nigerian Army, on Thursday, February 13, 2025.

According to the statement, during his visit to the Nigeria Police Headquarters in Jos, Major General Oyinlola stressed the importance of a unified front against terrorists, kidnappers, and other criminal elements.

“We must continue to work together to bring a swift end to insecurity in Plateau,” he stated.

The plateau state Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Adeshina, commended the GOC for prioritising the Police Headquarters for his initial visit.

“We have a common enemy—those who threaten the safety and security of our state,” he stated, affirming the commitment of the Nigeria Police to work hand-in-hand with the Nigerian Army.

The GOC also visited the Department of State Services (DSS), where he acknowledged the crucial role of intelligence gathering in the fight against insecurity.

“The success of our operations in Plateau depends largely on the accurate intelligence provided by the DSS,” he remarked.

DSS Director Paul Damian reciprocated the GOC’s sentiments, expressing admiration for the Armed Forces and acknowledging the timely response of Operation Safe Haven to intelligence reports.

At the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Headquarters, the GOC reiterated the necessity of ending inter-agency rivalry.

“A safe and secure plateau is a glory to all security agencies in the state. We must foster synergy amongst ourselves to succeed in our respective missions,” he remarked.

State Commandant Ishaku Musa expressed gratitude for the GOC’s visit and pledged 100 percent support from the NSCDC to the Nigerian Army.

The visits culminated in the presentation of souvenirs and a group photograph, symbolising the commitment of these agencies to work collaboratively in safeguarding the peace of Plateau State.
