The Bauchi State command of Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) and the Department of State Services (DSS) have resolved to collaborate towards effective intelligence gathering and sharing to enhance security in the State.

Jibril disclosed that Muhammad was exploiting ways through which both state commands of NCoS and DSS would collaborate in the fight against crime and criminality in Bauchi State.
According to the PRO, Muhammad used the visit to commiserate with the NCoS over the recent jailbreak at Oyo Custodial Centre in Oyo State.
He said the State Director assured that the DSS would continue to render its support to the NCoS in order to prevent similar occurrence in any of the custodial centres in Bauchi State.

Responding, Galadanci commended the DSS boss for the visit, emphasising that the custodial centres remained the untapped sources of credible information and intelligence gathering.
The Controller declared that if well harnessed, the centres would assist the DSS and other relevant security agencies in the country in the area of intelligence gathering and sharing.
