The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has suggested the help of private security firms in tackling insecurity in Nigeria.

He was represented by his Senior Special Adviser on Strategy, Ademola Adeyinka.

He said, “There is no doubt that we need private security firms. In a situation where there is a shortage of personnel, there is bound to be challenges, so this is where private security firms fill the gap and they should be prepared to play certain roles.”
