Speaking at the State Executive Council meeting, Governor Aliyu emphasised that his government has invested heavily in supporting security agencies to enhance their operational effectiveness.

“We have provided significant support to security agencies and introduced new initiatives to curb the activities of bandits,” the governor stated.

According to him, the current administration has distributed 140 patrol vehicles to various security agencies, increased allowances for personnel deployed to high-risk areas, and established the Sokoto State Community Guard Corps.

The corps has been equipped with 40 Hilux vans and 700 motorcycles. Additional measures taken include the upgrade of the Department of State Services (DSS) tracker system to enhance surveillance and intelligence gathering.
