The Kogi state commissioner of police, Miller Dantawaye, has said that strong synergy between the Nigeria police force, and Nigerian navy, particularly the marine police, would enhance waterways security in the country.
Dantawaye said this when students of junior course 99 (jc 99) of the Nigerian navy department of maritime war college, paid an operational visit to the police command in Lokoja.
He commended them for choosing the command as one of the stops on their operation tours across the country, saying that the visit will significantly sharpen the effectiveness and professional readiness of the marine police officers.
In addition, the team leader and director of the department of maritime warfare, commodore A.O. Ojebode says that the visit reaffirms the commitment of the Nigerian police force and the Nigerian Navy to building a stronger, united front against all maritime and inland waterway-related threats.
