He said the service had deployed MIDAS technology, which was used to monitor what was happening at the borders.
He added that at least MIDAS was powered by foreign countries helping NIS to ensure that the borders were tight and in control. According to him, NIS has taken a step further to visit traditional rulers in the border communities to avoid engaging in transborder crimes.“We have visited a couple of the Obas , and the idea is to engage the border communities to make them know they have a stake in securing these borders.
” So, for me, it’s an extra mile; apart from the regular policing of the borders by officers, we have also gone into Public Relations and then enlightenment. “This is so, just to make sure that people don’t think it’s not their business but that everybody is involved in the issue of securing our borders,” he said.
