According to him, the issues of farmers and herders clashes in the frontline areas have been resolved in a holistic approach, adding that the security agencies alone cannot resolve the issue of insecurity in the country.
He added that one of the personnel of the command was gallantly killed by the insurgents in Geidam LGA of the State, saying the officers of the command have suffered so many setbacks despite the fact that the corps have recorded so many achievements.
