Nigeria and Benin Republic have agreed to strengthen defence cooperation and implement real-time intelligence sharing to combat cross-border crimes and terrorism, according to a recent announcement. The agreement comes as both nations seek to enhance security along their shared border.
The collaboration aims to improve coordination between law enforcement agencies and intelligence services to address challenges such as smuggling, illegal immigration, and terrorist activities. Officials from both countries emphasized the need for a unified approach to ensure regional stability.
This initiative follows growing concerns over the increasing frequency of cross-border criminal activities in the region. The agreement is expected to foster greater trust and operational synergy between the two nations.
The move reflects a broader effort to strengthen regional security frameworks in West Africa. (dailypost.ng)
