Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has called for a comprehensive overhaul of Nigeria’s security architecture, saying the country’s persistent insecurity reflected deeper challenges of poor governance, poverty and inadequate collaboration between security agencies and citizens.

Mohammed made the call on Sunday during a visit to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan, where he sympathised with the government and people of Oyo State over the abduction of teachers and pupils from Yawota and Esinele communities in Oriire Local Government Area.
