The minister argued that that armed conflict situations often present fertile ground for friction between the military and the media.

Daily Trust quoted him as saying these security threats call for increased inter-security agency collaboration in the area of intelligence information sharing and effective collaboration with the media to turn the tide against criminal elements.

“Until crime and criminality rates are greatly reduced to the barest minimum, the hope of creating the enabling environment required to attract foreign investors and increase national revenue generation will continue to remain a mirage,” he said.

The minister tasked the military to remain conscious of the law at all times and be guided by the rules of engagement.

He further tasked the media to be guided by their professional ethics.

It also reported how a renowned Kano-based Quranic reciter, Sheikh Ahmad Sulaiman, and five other persons were recently kidnapped in Katsina state.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Katsina state command, SP Gambo Isa, confirmed the abduction to newsmen on Friday in Katsina.
