The Deputy Senate President (DSP), Barau Jibrin, yesterday donated 1,000 operational motorcycles to the Kano State Police Command as part of the efforts to boost security in the state.

Speaking at the official handover of the motorbikes at the police headquarters, Jibrin stated that the Kano North Senatorial Zone will be given 700 vehicles while the remaining 300 will be for the state command.

He said: “I will not say anything without thanking the officers and men of the police force, along with their colleagues in the DSS (Department of State Services) for the way they are working to ensure that peace reigns in Kano State.

“Indeed, Kano State is one of the few states in the entire North-west region that peace reigns; where there is no banditry, and other acts of terrorism.

“We thank you for allowing us to sleep with our two eyes closed. God Almighty has also made a favour to us in Kano for which we say our gratitude to Him and indeed to thank you for your job,” he explained.

The Deputy Senate President also promised to continue to support the police in the state.

He also promised to provide for the Kano Central Senatorial Zone in two months and subsequently, the Kano South Senatorial Zone.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the Inspector General of Police (IG), Kayode Egbetokun, the Kano State Police Commissioner, CP Salman Dogo, thanked the Deputy Senate President for the donation.

“This unwavering support and generosity underscore the critical importance of collaborative efforts between the law enforcement agencies and government leadership in advancing our collective mission of serving and safeguarding the people of Kano State.

“The provision of these motorcycles symbolises more than just a mode of transportation; it represents a tangible investment in the capabilities and morale of our dedicated police officers, enhancing their operational efficiency and response readiness.”
