ABUJA — Following the upsurge in
Boko Haram insurgency in the North-Eastern part of the country, Nigeria
has entered into agreement with France, Cameroon, and three of her other
neighbours in a bid to contain the menace of the terrorists.
This is to increase the level of
coordination and exchange of intelligence as well as hold regular meetings of
experts with a view to containing the menace.
This is just as 85 high schools in
Borno State are being shut inefinitely amidst fears of massive attacks by Boko
Haram terrorists.
According to an online news portal, The
Premium Times, Nigeria’s other neighbours who also agreed to ensure
effective policing of common borders to avoid the infiltration of terrorists
and other criminals as well as the repatriation of suspects in conformity with
existing protocols are the Republic of Benin, Chad and Niger.
These are some of the
recommendations made by the Directors-General of External Intelligence Services
of the six countries, who met in Abuja, March 5.
