Kaduna State, Governor Uba Sani has welcomed the delivery of two Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) and the deployment of 200 highly trained members of the Special Squad of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The deployment, orchestrated by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, aims to bolster the state’s fight against terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other criminal activities.
The move comes as a fulfillment of a promise made by the IGP during his recent visit to Kaduna State, where he pledged support to strengthen the capabilities and efficiency of the Nigeria Police Force in the region.
Governor Sani expressed gratitude towards the IGP for his unwavering commitment and lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for his focused leadership during challenging times in Nigeria’s history.
Prior to the reception of the APCs and deployment of the Special Police Squad, Governor Sani held a closed-door meeting with members of the Core Security Council and community leaders from Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area, demonstrating a collaborative approach towards addressing security concerns.
The provision of armored vehicles and additional personnel underscores the government’s determination to ensure the safety and well-being of citizens, particularly following the recent safe return of Kuriga school children.
Governor Sani reiterated his administration’s resolve to continue working closely with security agencies and local communities to maintain peace and stability across Kaduna State.
Governor Sani made known the details of the delivery via his X account.
