Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris announced that the administration has procured new security vehicles, including armored ones, to bolster security measures and safeguard communities impacted by recent bandit raids. Governor Idris made this announcement during empathy visits to Jandutsi and Andarai, two affected local government areas, where he met victims of the attacks and displaced residents.
The governor's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yahaya Sarki, reported these developments in a statement on Monday. During the visits, Governor Idris pledged the government's unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property, promising to deploy all necessary resources to thwart future attacks. He also revealed that additional security personnel had been requested and deployed to vulnerable regions, with the administration focusing on proper positioning in areas grappling with security issues.
The primary objective, according to Governor Idris, is to create an atmosphere where residents can pursue their lawful activities without apprehension and sleep securely in their homes. He emphasized the government's resolve in protecting citizens and appealed for enhanced collaboration among neighboring states, particularly in border regions susceptible to criminal exploitation of jurisdictional gaps.
The governor urged regional counterparts and stakeholders to improve inter-state cooperation and intelligence-sharing mechanisms to address insecurity. In response to the attacks, Governor Idris directed the provision of additional relief aid to affected communities, promising the state government's continued dedication to addressing immediate humanitarian needs of victims and displaced residents.
In Jandutsi, District Head Ibrahim Abubakar and local leaders thanked the governor for the relief assistance and visited community support. They called for permanent security personnel and further resources for local vigilantes to bolster security. Similarly, in Andarai, District Head Muhammad Aliyu and LGA Chairman Adamu Aliyu Liba commended the governor for providing relief materials and financial aid to victims and displaced persons.
They requested increased security presence, temporary shelters for displaced residents, and urgent action to tackle the community's water scarcity.
