Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has assured more support to security operatives in the state to enhance their performance for a secured state.
The Governor, in a statement through his media aide, Mamman Mohammed, gave the assurance in his office on Friday when he was presented with the award won by Operation Haba Maza security outfit as the best police patrol outfit in Nigeria, by the Nigeria Police Force.
Buni established Operation Haba Maza in 2019 as an emergency support to the conventional security agencies in the state.
He commended the security agencies in the state for their synergy and teamwork, which have grossly reduced the rate of crimes across the state.
The Yobe State Commissioner of Police, Garba Ahmed, commended the governor for establishing the outfit.
“The outfit has remained a strong pillar in fighting crime in Damaturu, the state capital and its environs,” he said.
Ahmed called for the extension of the outfit to other major towns in the state to assist in curbing crimes while requesting additional vehicles to boost logistics for effective patrol across the state.
