The Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, on Friday, donated 120 vehicles and 44 motorcycles to boost community policing initiatives in all 21 Local Government Areas of the state.
The new set of security vehicles is also part of measures to lay the foundation for a new template to enhance the security architecture of the state.
In his address, the governor said this measure was taken to curb the excesses of criminals in the state, adding that it’ll ease the movement of vigilantes in the state.
He assured the significance of security in any society, noting his administration’s commitment to effective policing in the state.
“Each Local Government Area is entitled to five vehicles and two motorcycles each to be distributed to every member of the security operatives with a promise that in the next few days, more vehicles will distributed to other security agencies in the state,” Ododo said.
He assured the vigilantes that by next week, he’d announce a Commander for the vigilantes.
