Niger State Governor, Farmer Mohammed Umaru Bago, has emphasized the need for additional police personnel and hardware support to combat insecurity in the state. He made this call during a visit from Assistant Inspector General of Police AIG Zone 7, Benneth Igweh.
Farmer Governor Umaru Bago stressed that the state requires more personnel to effectively police its vast territory, which is the largest land mass in the country. He noted that the state's ungoverned spaces create opportunities for banditry and other criminal activities. To address this, his administration is implementing a non-kinetic approach to insecurity, working with other security agencies to neutralize terrorists.
Governor Bago commended Police Commissioner CP Shawulu Dan-Mamman for his dedication and commitment. He assured that his administration will collaborate with all security agencies to curb crimes. AIG Igweh, during his visit, outlined his mission to study the state's terrain, mapping it into sectors to eliminate crime-prone areas.
AIG Igweh also addressed the rising cases of phone theft, stating that the police have mechanisms to track stolen phones. He urged victims to report incidents to the nearest police station, providing phone details for tracking.
This call for enhanced security measures aligns with Governor Bago's efforts to improve the state's overall wellbeing. His administration has initiated various projects, including the Bago Electrifying Agenda, aimed at overhauling 600 transformers, and a N100 million donation to FUT Minna for hostel construction.
