The Commissioner of Police for Akwa Ibom State, Baba Azare, has appealed for increased cooperation between security agencies to address escalating sea piracy in Nigeria’s coastal waters. This call comes amid growing concerns over maritime security threats in the Gulf of Guinea. Azare emphasized the need for a unified approach to effectively counter the criminal activities impacting the region. He highlighted the complexity of the issue, suggesting that no single agency can adequately tackle the problem alone. The police commissioner’s request focuses on improved intelligence sharing and coordinated operations. This collaborative effort aims to safeguard maritime trade routes and ensure the safety of vessels and personnel operating in the area. The initiative seeks to diminish the increasing risk posed by pirates to Nigeria’s economy and regional stability.
