He said the effort aims at supporting security agencies to enable them carry out their duties effectively as a means of ensuring the maintenance of law and order throughout the State.
“To further improve on the existing security situation across the state, we are here today to commission the 47 Four Wheel Drive JMC vehicles with the following ratios: 21 allocated to the Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) across the 17 LGAs, one vehicle each to the State Police Headquarters (operations), the Nigerian Army, the Department of State Security Services, the Nigeria Correctional Service, the Nigeria Immigration Service, the Nigeria Civil Defence Corps, the Nigeria Drugs Law Enforcement Agency, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
“In addition, one vehicle will be allocated to each of the 17 LGAs Chairmen to enhance their day to day operations, while the 50 motorcycles will be allocated with the following ratio: 23 to the Department of State Services, 10 to the Nigerian Army, 10 to Airport Security team, and 7 to the Vigilante group”, he said.
Gov Buni then tasked security agencies to reciprocate the State Government’s gesture by redoubling their effort to provide adequate security and proper maintenance of Law and Order across the State to enable citizens go about their lawful activities without fear of intimidation or harassment by criminal elements.
“To achieve this noble objective, it has become necessary to provide adequate support to security agencies, especially in terms of logistics to ease their movements on routine patrols or responding to distress calls from citizens of the State”, he added.
The Governor commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support in ensuring a peaceful and secured Yobe State, while appreciating security personnel and members of the vigilante groups and hunters for their dedication and gallantry in providing security across the state.
