Nigeria’s
efforts to rein in raging insurgency in some parts of the country has
received a major boost, as the Italian government yesterday disclosed
its intention to train officers and men of the Nigerian Police and other
Paramilitary agencies on how to combat terrorism and other violent
crimes.
Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margerita Boniver, disclosed
this when she led her country’s delegation of the Special Envoy for
Humanitarian Emergencies on a courtesy visit to the Nigeria’s Minister
of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro.
Speaking on the occasion, she expressed the desire of her government
to help stem the crisis in Northern Nigeria by building the skills of
local security agencies, especially in forensic investigation and how to
defend the citizenry from terror attacks.
Though she did not give details and the form the assistance would
look like, she however said that her home government was unhappy with
the level of senseless killings in parts of the country, particularly
the north, where she said Nigeria witnessed more violent crimes.
