From Umar Danladi Ado, Sokoto
The Nigeria Police Force, Sokoto State Command, has reiterated its commitment to leveraging public opinion and suggestions to enhance security activities in the state.
This assurance was made by the State Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Musa, at the Command’s SERVICOM Unit Customer Service Week Celebration 2025 held at the Police Command Officers’ Mess.
CP Musa urged residents to freely provide meaningful suggestions and information to enable the command to effectively address security challenges.
Responding to community residents’ suggestions, he assured that the command would intensify supervision and patrol efforts.
Each division, he explained, has its own incident charge schedule and officers assigned to cover specific areas.
Additionally, the command has patrol teams stationed at strategic points to monitor activities.
The police chief assured that the command would continue to improve its efforts to ensure security in the state.
This move is in line with the Inspector General of Police’s encouragement of interactions with the public.
The meeting was attended by community leaders, traditional title holders, and representatives of various business communities to gather feedback and suggestions.
Sokoto State has been facing security challenges, including banditry, cattle rustling, kidnapping, and rural violence, which have prompted the state government to take measures to enhance security.
The state government has established the Sokoto Community Guard Corps to bolster grassroots surveillance and rural protection.
However, all the contributors offered meaningful suggestions and advised on best to achieve the targeted goals.
